Create SSD / DSD image from files under Linux?

Post by gordonDrogon »

I've been searching for something to do this - I'm sure there must be something out there - I just can't find it - yet...

Simply; I have a number of files on my Linux system I want to put/create on an SSD image so I can then use that image with an GoTek on a real beeb, or upload the image to e.g. https://bbc.godbolt.org/ which seems to allow SSD images...

Can some kind soul point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

-Gordon

If yu are comfortable with command lines tools, then I would recommend Stephen (sweh)'s mmb_utils:

Alternatively, if you want a GUI based tool (that also has command line interface), you could also try Disc Image Manager. It runs under Windows, Mac and Linux:

Thanks. Will have a look over the next few days as I'll be away from my desk with just a laptop and making something from a command-line tool is a good solution as I can incorporate it into a Makefile for the tiny project I'm working on so it means I can go from asm source, assemble (project uses ca65 from the cc65 suite), make an image, load image into emulator, test, rinse, lather, repeat..

cheers,

You can also run Disc Image Manager in a command line. Either type in commands, or create a script in a text editor and run that.
