Re: [Rpcemu] Rpcemu Digest, Vol 110, Issue 2 - floppies

Hullo chaps,

                 I imaged my key floppies and mount those images using !ADFFS for install and update.  I'll happily document the steps if needed.

Cheerio!

Did you try making an image file of your original HD on which Sibelius was
installed and using that as a HD with RPCEmu?

I can see that having to use a floppy disc to enable an install would be
problematic! But I'm thinking of when you start with a HD which has
Sibelius installed and working and clone that to a file with a tool like
'dd' or suitable equivalent that captures every detail of the HD. Then use
that image as a RPCEmu 'hard disc'.

Am I correct in understanding that:

A) Once you have installed onto a HD Sibelius *doesn't* require you to keep
using the key floppy? i.e. That the install then runs having found the
relevant 'installed' pattern on the HD.

B) That you could make a backup of the HD in case it failed. Then the
backup would work?
