NAME

6       raw2hdf - Create an .hdf hard disk image from a raw data file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       raw2hdf rawfile hdffile

DESCRIPTION

11       raw2hdf  converts  a binary dump of a hard disk's data into an IDE disk
12       image in .hdf format for use with Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulators.
13

OPTIONS

15       -v version
16              specifies the version of .hdf image to be created. Valid  values
17              are  `1.0'  for  a  version 1.0 file and `1.1' for a version 1.1
18              file. Defaults to creating version 1.1 files.
19
20       rawfile
21              specifies a raw data file (or block device corresponding  to  an
22              actual disk) to be converted.
23
24       hdffile
25              specifies the .hdf file to create.

NOTES

28       Since  raw2hdf  has no knowledge of the geometry of the disk from which
29       the original image was taken (indeed, the input file need not originate
30       from  a  real IDE disk at all), there is no guarantee that the informa‐
31       tion contained in the .hdf file header accurately represents the origi‐
32       nal  disk.  However, it will attempt to construct a header that is con‐
33       sistent with the size of the image, to produce an .hdf  file  which  is
34       functionally equivalent.
