[net.wanted.sources] cpmfloppy for VAX780 running 4.xBSD

lamarche@micomvax.UUCP (02/19/85)

A while back, the sources of this beast allowing to read/write
CP/M 8" SS/SD floppies were distributed on the net.  Could
somebody mail me these sources as I now need them.

Thanks in advance,

This can be done with "dd", for example:

% dd if=/dev/floppy of=foo bs=128 count=2002  # read CP/M disk into file "foo"
% dd of=/dev/floppy if=foo bs=128 count=2002  # write CP/M disk from file "foo"

Berkeley supplies a program called "cpm" that allows you to manipulate
a CP/M diskette image file. Look for the sources in /usr/src/new/cpm.
The documentation is in volume 2C of the Berkeley manuals.
