Disk Image Manager (previously SPIN Disk Manager) is a Windows application for examining and manipulating disk images in the Extended DSK format used by many Spectrum and Amstrad emulators. The application was intended to complement the SPIN Spectrum emulator but is a complete standalone application. Many of this tools features and functions were driven by the Spectrum Disk Preservation team which use this format and tool to help manage the selection and testing of disk images archived to The World of Spectrum and The TZX Vault. These images are traditionally created with CPDRead under DOS but I prefer to use Simon Owen's fantastic SamDisk tool which works under Windows XP just great. Features Images - Conversion between standard and extended image formats
- Identification of tool that created the image
- Fingerprinting with SHA1 hash algorithm
- Remember workspace files and position option
Analysis - Display of extended disk parameter block (XDPB)
- Boot compatibility: Amstrad PCW 9512, Amstrad PCW 8256, Amstrad CPC 664/6128, Sinclair Spectrum +3
- Identification of disk formats (even when deskewed by image tools): Amstrad PCW 9512, Amstrad PCW 8256, (CF2/CF2DD variants), Amstrad CPC system, Amstrad CPC data, Spectrum +3, Ultra 208 (Chris Pile), HiForm 208/203 (Ian Collier), Supermat 192/XCF2, MGT SAM Coupe BDOS, SAMDOS, MasterDOS

- Visual customisable map of space utilisation, track structure and controller flags
- Save map to bitmap
- Hex and ASCII display of sector data
- Search sector data for ASCII data
Modification - Manipulation of controller flags, actual sector sizes and indicated FDC size
- Formatting and unformatting of specific sectors & tracks
- Compress out unused tracks and sectors option
Creation - Formatting of new disk images to known formats
- Formatting of new disk images to custom tailored formats: Sides, tracks per side, sectors per track, sector size, first sector ID, interleave, reverse tracks, skew tracks, skew sides, gap read/write, gap format, directory blocks, block size, filler byte

CPCrulez[Content Management System] v8.73-desktop/c Page créée en 138 millisecondes et consultée 6989 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
