Introduction
An oddly named tool that can be built with MAME for managing/identifying multiple types of floppy/hard disk images
This doco will end up covering floppy images in general in some capcity since I need to learn more about them
Creating
floptool
Theoretically i believe this should create a 3.5" double density disk image for pc but MAME 0.241 threw a segfault
floptool flopcreate pc u35dsdd sb16.img
Linux
Using mkfs to make a basic image
#!/bin/bash
set +u
DESTIMG=${1:-/tmp/floptmp.img}
DESTSZE=${2:-1440}
mkfs.msdos -C "$DESTIMG" $DESTSZE
Mounting
Linux
As a loopback device
#!/bin/bash
set +u
set +x
DEVIMG=${1:-/tmp/floptmp.img}
DEVMNT=${2:-/mnt/mame-media/mount-floppy/}
[ ! -d $DEVMNT ] && echo "Cannot find $DEVMNT" && exit
sudo umount $DEVMNT
sleep 1
sudo mount -o loop $DEVIMG $DEVMNT
