dmklib is a library to manipulate DMK disk image files. This is NOT work by me. I did some small changes that I wanted to keep track off so that it is not getting lost.

dmklib is a library to read and write DMK format floppy disk images. DMK format was developed by David Keil to represent floppy disk images for use in TRS-80 simulators, and has since been adopted by other software such as xtrs by Tim Mann and M.E.S.S. The specifications for the DMK image file format are available on the web:

http://discover-net.net/~dmkeil/trs80/trstech.htm#Technical-DMK-disks

dmklib is supplied with several utility/demo programs for Linux:

rfloppy:  read an actual floppy diskette and produce a DMK image

dmkformat:  produce a blank formatted DMK image

dmk2raw:  extract the data from a DMK image into a raw file

dumpids:  read and display the sector IDs from an actual floppy diskette

dmklib and the utility/demo programs are in an extremely crude state, however, they have been used successfully to read 8-inch single and double sided, single and double density floppies. Although some versions have been used in the past to read 5.25-inch floppies, it is not known whether this release will do so. Since there has been quite a bit of interest recently on the CCTalk mailing list in Linux software to read floppy diskettes, I have decided to make this prerelease available now rather than wait until I've cleaned everything up.

Further development of dmklib will be hosted on SourceForge:
