How to extract A.DSK using cpmtools

Post by LesB »

I'm trying to extract all files out of A.DSK and B.DSK using cpmtools but it is not working. My diskdef is as follows which I grabbed from the DJs web page:

Code: Select all

diskdef naburn8mb
    seclen 128
    tracks 16384
    sectrk 4
    blocksize 4096
    maxdir 512
    skew 1
    boottrk 0
    os 2.2
end  
I'm trying this command line to extract the files:

Code: Select all

cpmcp -f naburn8mb a.dsk 0:*.* nabu\a
The result is I see a single file called asm.com that is 0 bytes in size.

Any ideas?

Figured it out. I had to download the same version of cpmtools (version 2.23) from the website. Once I did that I was able to extract a.dsk to folders on the PC with this command:

Code: Select all

cpmcp -f naburn8mb a.dsk 0:*.* nabu\a\0\.
I was using a version of cpmtools that was already installed on my machine which did not work but version 2.23 did work.
