Chapter 6. Menu Options
Exit/Hide
When the "Exit" button is pressed, the Drive Redirection software is closed. If a Drive Redirection
connection is active, the connection will be properly closed before the application terminates.
Using the "Hide to Tray" button the application is hidden, but not terminated completely. This
means that an active connection will be kept alive until it is explicitly closed. You can access the
software by clicking its tray icon. The tray icon also shows whether a connection is established or
not. A double click on the icon shows the application window or with a right click you may access a
small menu (see
Figure 6-11
).

Creating an Image
Floppy Images
UNIX and UNIX-like OS
To create an image file make use of "dd". This is one of the core UNIX utilities and is included in every
UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux).
To create a floppy image file copy the floppy raw device to a file using the following command:
dd [
if=/dev/fd0
] [
of=/tmp/floppy.image
]
dd reads the entire disc from the device
/dev/fd0
and saves the output to the specified output file
/tmp/floppy.image
. Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs (input device etc.)
MS Windows
You can use the tool "RawWrite for Windows". It is included on the CD ROM shipped with the ASMI
module.
