Reading disc images like the RC15 one

Is there anyway way to read such a filecore disc image file without an SDcard at hand. The utilities I found seem all limited to floppy disc images. |

I don’t think Linux yet supports the filecore filing system but you can at least see the partitions, their size and type using Linux utilities. |

Linux certainly supported FileCore format in the past, but support may only be for pre-long-filename FileCore. Or are you wanting to read the contents of the image on RISC OS? |

A couple of years ago, when my Iyonix finally decided it didn’t like any of the PSUs I bought for it, I put its hard drive in a USB enclosure, hooked it up to my Debian machine and copied the entire contents to an ext4 partition. Including file types (as ,ext extensions). So Linux definitely supports it, although you do have to manually insert the necessary kernel module (called adfs.ko – it’s there, just not loaded by default). https://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/filesystems/adfs.txt Also, I remember reading somewhere that you can loop mount a filecore image. I think you need to prepend some header info to it, though. Can’t remember exactly… :( |
