<p>New page &quot;Computer Media Images&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>When working with computer [[simulator]]s (e.g. [[SIMH]]), you usually use images of computer media instead of real ones. (Well, some simulators can even be run with real media, too.)<br /> <br /> Another scenario is preservation and copying of old computer media.<br /> <br /> There are:<br /> * [[Floppy disk]] images<br /> * [[Hard disk]] images<br /> * [[Magnetic tape]] images<br /> * [[Paper tape]] images<br /> * [[Punched card]] images<br /> * etc.<br /> <br /> The multitude of image formats as well as their characteristics can sometimes be really confusing.<br /> <br /> I'll try to shed some light on some common image media formats and manipulation tools.<br /> <br /> == Image format basics ==<br /> <br /> Regardless of the media involved, two basic types of images can be distinguished:<br /> <br /> * Raw data images<br /> * Images containing additional metadata and/or using compression <br /> <br /> Both types have their specific pros and cons and areas of application.<br /> <br /> Raw data images are mainly used with simulators, whereas &quot;metadata enriched&quot; images are more common for data preservation and copying of computer media.<br /> <br /> Raw data images have two subvariants:<br /> <br /> * Raw data images in sector/physical order (dependent on [[sector interleaving]] applied)<br /> * Raw data images in logical/LBN order (independent of interleaving)<br /> <br /> SIMH for example expects images in logical order, whereas Xhomer depends on sector order. <br /> <br /> == Imaging tools/toolkits ==<br /> <br /> === Linux dd ===<br /> <br /> === Teledisk ===<br /> <br /> === ImageDisk ===<br /> <br /> [http://dunfield.classiccmp.org/img| ImageDisk]<br /> <br /> === SAMdisk ===<br /> <br /> [https://simonowen.com/samdisk| SAMdisk]<br /> <br /> == Conversion tools ==<br /> <br /> === imd2raw ===<br /> <br /> === lbn2rx50 ===<br /> <br /> == Further Reading ==<br /> <br /> * [https://retrocmp.de/fdd/general/disk-imaging.pdf| Disk Imaging Techniques]<br /> <br /> {{semi-stub}}<br /> [[Category: Media]]<br /> [[Category: Emulators]]</div>
