Plans are being laid to develop a DOS packet driver to transfer 802.1 Ethernet frames to the user space service daemon on the Pi side. Or it could be a parent directory containing all three! The ability to transfer files to your vintage machine just by dragging and dropping files on a modern Windows 10 box through thin air opens up mind-blowing expansion opportunities!ģ) Virtual Network Interface.
It could be a path the Pi is exporting over the network via SAMBA or NFS. It could be a Window’s remote file share via SAMBA. This opens up enormous possibilities as that mount point could be an auto-mount path for a USB mass storage stick. Pimount allows the mounting of any arbitrary directory on the Raspberry Pi’s file system as a DOS drive letter. Part of the NetPi-IDE project is a utility called PIMOUNT.COM. A variety of sizes from 10M to 8GB have been testing thus far.Ģ) DOS Redirector. One may specify, via config file, the full path to an image file, optional CHS drive geometry to report to the host, IDE disk label, and other attributes. A user may store as many image files as space allows.Ĭurrently master, slave, or master and slave drive emulation is fully working. Image files are stored in a read/write partition of the Raspberry Pi’s micro-SD card used to store the operating system (Raspbian). Image file content can be manipulated on the Pi via loop-back mounts, mtools, or even x86 emulators built for ARM.
Image files can be backed up via Linux facilities (ssh, rsync, ftp, etc). Those images can be selected statically when the Pi process is launched or even changed during run-time when the emulator senses an IDE reset pulse or a ‘Read Identification Sector’ command from the host. One may keep a menagerie of image files representing dozens of configurations, boot disks, application use cases, or special use scenarios. The over-all features of the project are divided into four basic areas.ġ) Disk emulation.
