atari-hd-image - tool for creating a harddisk image for use with Hatari

SYNOPSIS

atari-hd-image size [filename] [partition name] [directory]

DESCRIPTION

Create an ACSI/IDE harddisk image for Hatari with a single Atari compatible DOS FAT partition (using sfdisk, mkdosfs, atari-convert-dir, mcopy, dd and python).

OPTIONS

size: Harddisk image size in megabytes, 8-512. 512MB is largest partition size supported by TOS versions before v4.x and by mkdosfs (for Atari compatible partition formatting).
filename: Name for the harddisk image (default: hd.img)
partition name: Name for the single partition (default: DOS)
directory: directory for initial content copied to the image. atari-convert-dir tool is used to clip long file names to 8+3 size required by FAT and Atari TOS. If resulting file names aren't unique, you get warning(s), but script continues

EXAMPLES

16MB 'hd.img' HD image:: atari-hd-image 16
8MB image with partition named 'TEST', and files from content/:: atari-hd-image 8 8mb-disk.img TEST content/
