cd-i 605-T Boot Disk
Dfennec is asking for a boot disk (image) of the one that came with the cd-i 605-T.
Is someone of you willing to make an image of the floppy?

Yes, that's what I mean: the original floppy can't be read on my PC. I tried various low-level disk reading programs, even TeleDisk which is supposed to handle anything the hardware can handle, but it wouldn't work. Other PC's may vary, of course...
So I had to resort to my 605 to get a disk image (really just a matter of uploading the raw device file via CD-i Link).
Then I had to create a "bootstrap" procedure for a 605 so that you can format a new floppy before downloading into the raw device file, again via CD-i Link.
By the way, it needs a Double Density floppy; HD won't work.

Ok, I'm almost there....working with DFennec to try and bring this 605T up. He has to leave at the end of the weekend and is dying to see it work, so make me look good.
Anyway, I'm following the instructions I got from cdifan, and I've gotten the stub loader up and running. So, now I have a file os9sys.dsk in the ramdisk (/r768), and a formatted DD floppy in /d0.
Ok.
Now, the instructions say to type: copy /r768 /d0@
And I get: copy: can't open '/r768' - Error #000:214
I tried: copy /r768/os9sys.dsk /d0@
And I get: copy: "/d0@" already exists. Error #000:218
I tried: copy /r768/os9sys.dsk /d0@ -r
And I get: copy: can't access '/d0@' - Error #000:214
Anyone here with any OS-9 experience have a clue as to what the right command is to write the disk image to a floppy?

I did a 'format /d0', and that worked.
I CAN do a: copy /pcd0h/os9sys.dsk -w=/r768
and a: copy /r768/os9sys.dsk -w=/d0
But, that just gives me a file on a DD disk called os9sys.dsk, not exactly what I want.
Trying to do a: copy /d0@ /r768/test.dsk
gives me an 'out of space' error.
I have done the standard troubleshooting step of, 'start over from the beginning', so I don't THINK I've missed something. I'm sure it's obvious if I only knew OS-9.
