Hello,
I suppose my issue might be unusual but I am hoping that someone here will be familiar with the norwegian computer Tiki-100.
I just got one but it came with only two floppies (TurboPascal on one and some text documents on the other), no system disks. However there is someone who has archived a lot of disks:
http://www.djupdal.org/tiki/program/
They are stored in .dsk format and according to the website I should be able to write them to 5.25" floppies using winimage but I am having no luck. The website also mentions 22dsk as a program to format CP/M disks (and TIKI-100 disks). I've got a lot of NOS 5.25" 360kb floppies and several old computers with 5.25" drives. And while 22dsk formats the disks and completes with "no errors" my problem is that winimage won't read any of the .dsk files.
When I try to open a .dsk in winame I get an error saying "error reading file". I've tried a few dozen .dsk now and on both my modern desktop computer and my 486 with win95 (an older version of winimage). I contacted the author of the site and he was surprised that none of the files work. They are zipped and unzip fine, so it would be very strange if the files within were corrupted somehow. I've also tried rawwrite and fdimage but noen of them work. fdimage wrote the image to the disk but the TIKI-100 couldn't make sense of it. I don't think fdimage supports .dsk 😜 Also the .dsk files appear to be working fine in the TIKI-100 emulator on the site.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do?
