Interesting use case here.. I've got a luggable XT PC which has no ability to have a hard disk (previous owner removed slot, cabling and the hard card).
I'm left with a 360K floppy which is the only disk type this BIOS seems to support. So I removed it and put a gotek/flashfloppy in its place.
1 because I only have a few working disks and 2... well I'm curious
I tested 360K and 720K images which worked fine. Any HD image does not work regardless of size.
I then went a step further and used HXCFloppyEmulator software to make a HFE disk image with the largest "File System Type" for double-density - 2.5MB FAT12.
There isn't any larger options in the drop down for DD so I am looking for options to make larger images (maybe up to the 32MB limit, but something like 20MB or even 10MB would be "better" when you factor in the effective RPM).
I've tried a few different techniques of writing a raw image and defining an IMG.CFG (with tagging). But I can't seem to get it to work. I'm just greeted with 'not ready' type errors.
Anyone got ideas how I can make a DOS format FAT12 image in 10/20/30MB sizes with the appropriate DD geometry?
