Making OS 2.10 for hxc emulator

Making OS 2.10 for hxc emulator

2016-03-07 by slee.grant@...

Hi, Im trying to make a OS disk image for my vfx-sd to use with a hxc emulator.  I recently had to reset my vfx-sd but didn't realize my floppy drive was no longer working so now i cant re-load the OS and use the sequencer. And also the OS disk i have is corrupted so i cant make my own omniflop OS image to use with the emulator. 

 I found a OS omniflop file in the files section of this group but cant get it working once i convert to the .hfe file that the hxc emulator likes. Does anyone have any advice , am i missing something?  

I formatted a disk and also saved some stuff on the emulator so that seems to be configured correctly.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Figured it out. The 210.img file i got from the files section here (the OS disk image) for whatever reason can not be loaded directly into the hxc software . What i ended up doing was using omniflop with the .img file to create a real OS floppy disk. Then i used the hxc softwares 'dump floppy disk' function to read read the new disk (converts whats read into the hfe format that the emulator uses)  and simply saved that file onto my hxc sd card and loaded it up on the emulator.  Got my sequencer back!

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
