raw2hdf

raw2hdf(1)							     Emulators								raw2hdf(1)

NAME

       raw2hdf - Create an .hdf hard disk image from a raw data file

SYNOPSIS

       raw2hdf rawfile hdffile
DESCRIPTION

       raw2hdf converts a binary dump of a hard disk's data into an IDE disk image in .hdf format for use with Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulators.

OPTIONS

       -v version
	      specifies  the  version of .hdf image to be created. Valid values are `1.0' for a version 1.0 file and `1.1' for a version 1.1 file.
	      Defaults to creating version 1.1 files.

       rawfile
	      specifies a raw data file (or block device corresponding to an actual disk) to be converted.

       hdffile
	      specifies the .hdf file to create.

NOTES

       Since raw2hdf has no knowledge of the geometry of the disk from which the original image was taken (indeed, the input file need not  origi-
       nate  from  a real IDE disk at all), there is no guarantee that the information contained in the .hdf file header accurately represents the
       original disk. However, it will attempt to construct a header that is consistent with the size of the image, to produce an .hdf file  which
       is functionally equivalent.

BUGS

       None known.
