- Mounting an ISO Image
-
- devs/fmsdisk.device
- s/isomount
-
- Devs/fmsdisk.device is a modified version of Matt Dillon's fmsdisk.device.
- This modified version allows you to mount a file as a filesystem device
- without having to name the file "Unit<n>" nor assign FMS: to where the
- file resides.
-
- If you have built an ISO image using the proprietary AmigaCD ISO
- tools (provided on a different disk to licensees), you can mount
- and check the ISO image as if it were a disk by using the V40
- l/CDFilesystem, and the devs/fmsdisk.device, and the s/isomount
- script provided on this disk. Just copy fmsdisk.device to devs:
- and isomount to s: on your V40 system. If you have a V39 system,
- also copy l/CDFileSystem to L:.
-
- Then do: ISOMOUNT isofilename
- Example: ISOMOUNT Work:MyGameISO
-
- Warning - if your ISO image is larger, there may be a significant
- delay after you do this before the volume is available.
-
- You can then list ISO2: to check directories, copy files off it, etc.
-
- ISOMOUNT defaults to mounting Unit number2 as ISO2:, and will use
- sequentially higher numbers if a unit is already mounted.
-
-
- Note - This is not an emulation system. We plan to provide a
- different ISO mounting emulation which will provide cd.device
- functionality. Watch for beta versions in our closed conferences
- for AmigaCD licensees on BIX (amiga.cd32) and CIX (nv.beta).
