Documentation on how to create an empty disk image from sources

Open lenucksi opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Hello! First: this is an absolutely fabulous piece of software!

Anyhow I was not able to find any documentation on how to create a new disk image from files I have lying around. I found information that I could convert images from the web to pcjs-json format, but not which formats would be acceptable to be pulled in via this way. Also not how to create a new image to be then pulled in.

Could you help me on this matter please? Did I oversee things or are they just not present yet?

I don't have a lot of time to spend on documentation right now -- eventually. Maybe you should come up with one very specific scenario you're trying to solve, and I'll give you whatever guidance I can.

There are sources of early version of DOS that were published recently. I am trying to verify if these versions of DOS can be compiled using the sources provided. Thus I need to create an image with these sources in it. And maybe a custom boot record.
