Image - Floppy Image Manipulation

        The 'Image' menu options allow access to floppy
      drive(s) and floppy image files on the host system.
      The basic 'Image' menu shows the Import From,
      Export To, Format, and Zero options.

      Exporting Floppy Disk Images
      Formatting The Image
      Zeroing The Image

    
    Importing An Image

      

        Selecting the 'Import From' menu item will show the
      available options: 'Image File' and "A:(RAW)".  If a
      second floppy disk drive is present then "B:(RAW)"
      would be listed.  If a USB device has been selected
      from the 'File' menu and a USB Disk(1-999) has been
      selected from the 'Disk Selection Grid' then that
      selection will also be shown as 'USB Disk # nnn'.
      Any selection will initiate an import to the internal
      image buffer (Floppy Disk Size - 1.44MB).

        A read from an image file opens a dialog window where
      a file can be selected.  The file is required to be exactly
      2880 512-byte sectors long. (The RAW size of a floppy disk.)

      


        Reading the floppy drives A: or B: performs a RAW read
      of the whole disk.  The progress of the import operation is
      shown via the progress bar -

      

      Once initiated the operation can be aborted by clicking
      'Cancel' in the task bar.  'Cancel' only appears in the
      task bar during import, export, or format operations.


        Reading from the USB imports a floppy disk image
      from the USB device according to the disk selected in
      the 'Disk Selection' grid.

      [ A USB Disk(1-999) is selected by clicking on the
        desired disk in the 'Disk Selector' grid.  The
        selection is noted by '*' following the disk ID. ]

      

    
    Exporting An Image

      

        Selecting the 'Export To' menu item will show the
      available options: 'Image File' and "A:(RAW)".  If a
      second floppy disk drive is present then "B:(RAW)"
      would be listed.  If a USB device has been selected
      from the 'File' menu and a USB Disk(1-999) has been
      selected from the 'Disk Selection Grid' then that
      selection will also be shown as 'USB Disk # nnn'.
      Any selection will initiate an export from the internal
      image buffer (Floppy Disk Size - 1.44MB).

        A write to an image file opens a dialog window where
      a file name can be entered.  The file will be exactly
      2880 512-byte sectors long. (The RAW size of a floppy disk.)

      


        Writing to the floppy drives A: or B: performs a RAW write
      to the whole disk.  The progress of the export operation is
      shown via the progress bar -

      

      Once initiated the operation can be aborted by clicking
      'Cancel' in the task bar.  'Cancel' only appears in the
      task bar during import, export, or format operations.


        Writing to the USB exports a floppy disk image
      to the USB device according to the disk selected in
      the 'Disk Selection' grid.

      

    
    Formatting The Image

        The 'Format' option:

      

      formats the internal image as a FAT12 1.44MB floppy.  A
      dialog opens where the upto 11 character ID may be entered.

      

        The formatted image may then be exported to a physical
      drive (A: or B:), to a file, or to a selected USB disk.

    
    Zeroing The Image

        The 'Zero' option:

      

      zeros the internal image of 1.44MB.  The zeroed image
      may then be exported to a physical drive (A: or B:),
      to a file, or to a selected USB disk.
