5354.0. "Writing ADOS disks on Unix?" by MUDIS3::AGRAF () Fri Jan 17 1992 04:02

    Does anybody know of any tools for UNIX to write Amiga-OS format
    disks?  I use the mtools on HP-workstations to write MSDOS-disks
    but would like to use ADOS disks, to spare me the annoying copying...

Re: .0, .1

Once and for all (this should be included in the V2 conference), unless
you have a system with a similar versatile mechanism to control a floppy
disk drive, you won't be able to write AmigaDOS format.
Most systems use _standard_ floppy disk controller chips, which can't
write a track with a single sync gap and 11 concatenated "blocks" like
the Amiga does it every day.

Cheers,
