Disk Image Formats Supported
The CFFA3000 recognizes the following types of disk images:
.DSK, .DO, .PO 140K images (35 tracks x 4,096 bytes per track), can be used either as Disk II or
Block devices. .PO is assumed to be in ProDOS sector order, .DO is assumed to be in DOS
sector order, and .DSK sector ordering is auto-detected. If a .DSK fails to boot as you are
expecting, renaming it to the correct sector ordering explicitly may help.
.NIB nibble image files (35 tracks x 6,656 nibbles per track) can be used as a Disk II device only.
.2MG can contain a nibble image or a block image (same rules as above); when a 140K block
image is used as a Disk II device, the volume number is respected.
Any file at least 256K and an exact multiple of 512 bytes in size can be used as a Block device
only.
