Aight, i wanna install Xenix on my HP 200LX so badly. The problem is the Xenix installer comes with weird "Rawrite" format floppy images and the notorious rawrite.exe. Big caveat here is that they are 360 5.25 Inch floppy images and need to be created on these.
Of course I dont have a 360 K floppy around, so what would be a bright solution? DOSBOX! (yay)
So here is what i do:
- Create a DOS bootable C image. 70 MB and boots DOS 6.22
- Copy DOS files and the xenix disk maker there
- Create a 360K Floppy image with BFI (http://www.nu2.nu/bfi/)
- Boot from my C: drive and format the 360K floppy image
- Reboot and try to write the N1 boot disk image using rawrite
And the last part always just turns my 360K image into trash. I'm not sure if rawrite is unsuitable to use with DOSBOX or if I am doing something else wrong.
Any alternate ideas? Or a disk image with Xenix (For 8086 please!)
Any input, ideas or criticism welcome!!!
