=pod =head1 NAME B<mkdos33fs> - create Apple II DOS 3.3 filesystems in a .dsk image =head1 SYNOPSIS B<mkdos33fs> [-h] [-t tracks] [-s sectors] [-b blocksize] [-d filename] <image.dsk> =head1 DESCRIPTION B<mkdos33fs> creates an Apple II DOS 3.3 formatted disk image, and optionally copies the boot record from an external file to make a bootable disk. By default, a standard 5 1/4" DOS 3.3 image is created, with 35 tracks, 16 sectors/track, and 256 bytes per sector. =head1 OPTIONS =over =item -h Shows help message. =item -t <B<tracks>> Create image with this many tracks (default 35). Must be at least 18. Maximum number is determined by the formula B<(block_size-0x38)/2)>. =item -s <B<sectors>> Create image with this many sectors per track (default 16). Must be between 2 and 32. =item -s <B<block_size>> Create image with this many bytes per sector (default 256, which is also the minimum size). Non-standard block sizes are allowed (up to 65536), but generally aren't supported by actual Apple hardware or DOS. =item -d <B<file>> Copy 3 sectors' worth of data from B<file>. This can be used to create bootable images, which will slightly reduce the amount of free space in the image's filesystem. =back =head1 SEE ALSO =over =item dos33fsprogs(1) =item a2tools(1) =back =head1 WEBSITE http://www.deater.net/weave/vmwprod/apple/ =head1 AUTHORS B<dos33fstools> written by Vince Weaver <vince _at_ deater.net>.
