🤷
All I did was using my normal DOS 6.2 installation to prepare an bootable diskette for use with PC-Ditto.
Reason for this was that the problem was that the Atari ST emulator had issues with normal 720KB images (*.ST vs *.IMA wasn't the main issue here).
So I've tinkered with certain floppy drive geometries to make everything more ST floppy drive friendly.
The Ditto manual recommended using FORMAT A: /1 /S to prepare an 3,5" 720KB floppy in SD format.
That was very troublesome, because FORMAT refused to do that with a 3,5" 720 KB DD drive (as reported by BIOS).
So I had to tinker with certain BIOS and floppy drive settings (incl 5,25" drives),
until that command worked and something booted up in PCem (that funny MS-DOS 6.30 message).
In the end, it didn't really matter, though.
The emulator, Winston, had issues with Ditto. Perhaps due to incomplete floppy emulation.
Switching do STEEM solved the issue for me. A normal 720KB DD floppy image was accepted and Ditto booted happily.
I've used both an unaltered PC-DOS 3.30 floppy dump (720KB DD; my own btw) as well as a custom boot disk with MS-DOS 6.20.
It's still funny as to why MS-DOS 6.22 reports as MS-DOS 6.30. The VER command reports the correct version.
Edit: Ah yes.. The weird font. It's a Wyse-700 video board emulation. This one draws everything large in CGA emulation mode.
