Knopperdisk 0.4.1


Knopperdisk is a Linux distribution designed for a USB pen drive. more>>
Knopperdisk is a Linux distribution designed for a USB pen drive.

The USB version is more than just a rescue disk. Its based on Gentoo and contains various other programs/utilities such as network related tools (nmap, ettercap).

The floppy version is a so called rescue disk which is a compilation of uclibc and busybox among other utilities. It even has a ssh client provided by dropbear (congrats to the author) and some filesystem tools.

cwfloppy 0.5.2

cwfloppy 0.5.2


cwfloppy is a Linux device driver for the Catweasel Advanced Floppy Controller manufactured by Individual Computers. more>>
cwfloppy is a Linux device driver for the Catweasel Advanced Floppy Controller manufactured by Individual Computers.
The Catweasel is a versatile Shugart bus controller, i.e., it can control floppy drives. It is extremely flexible and can be programmed to read and write just about any floppy disk in the world.
This driver supports all controller versions, ISA (MK1) and PCI (MK3 and MK4). The Amiga versions of the controller are currently not supported, but it should be easy to adapt the driver for Linux/m68k (so far nobody has expressed an interest in this, though).
Also, only the floppy is controlled by this driver. If you want to make use of the additional SID and joystick features present on the PCI cards, you must use the driver from Dirk Jagdmann and Michael Stickel.
As of yet, this driver supports the following formats (rw = read/write, ro = read-only):
- Amiga 3.5 DD [880KB] (rw)
- Amiga 3.5 HD [1760KB] (rw)
- Amiga 5.25 DD [880KB] (ro)
- MS-DOS 3.5 DD [720KB] (rw)
- MS-DOS 3.5 HD [1440KB] (rw)
Installation:
make (as root)
"make devices" to create the /dev entries for the Catweasel.
Enhancements:
- module.c: Look for MK4 Catweasel under both PCI subdevice IDs 0x0002 and 0x0003 (workaround for MK4 PCI-bridge bug).

floppyfw 3.0.0

floppyfw 3.0.0


floppyfw is a router with the advanced firewall-capabilities in Linux that fits on one single floppy disc. more>>
floppyfw project is a router with the advanced firewall-capabilities in Linux that fits on one single floppy disc.
Main features:
- Access lists, IP-masquerading (Network Address Translation), connection tracked packet filtering and (quite) advanced routing. Package for traffic shaping is also available.
- Requires only a 386sx or better with two network interface cards, a 1.44MB floppy drive and 12MByte of RAM ( for less than 12M and no FPU, use the 1.0 series, which will stay maintained. )
- Very simple packaging system. Is used for editors, PPP, VPN, traffic shaping and whatever comes up. (now this is looking even more like LRP (may it rest in peace) but floppyfw is not a fork.)
- Logging through klogd/syslogd, both local and remote.
- Serial support for console over serial port.
- DHCP server and DNS cache for internal networks.
It will get more features, but only if it is possible to cram it into the one, single diskette. More than one floppy is bloatware.
Enhancements:
- This release is uClibc based, and you can build it in a development environment yourself if you like.

Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS 1.0.2

Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS 1.0.2


Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS transfers diskettes and logical disk images between Apple ][-era computers and the modern world. more>>
Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (or ADTPro for short) transfers diskettes and logical disk images between Apple ][-era computers and the modern world. If youre familiar with the original ADT, ADTPro extends ADTs reach by working with more logical disk formats, drive types, communications devices, and host operating systems.
Main features:
- Compatibility with any device ProDOS can read
- Compatibility with any Apple ][ (or clone) computer with 64k memory
- Compatibility with many logical disk image formats: .DSK, .PO, .NIB, 2IMG
- Server compatibility with original ADT client program
- Server compatibility with Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and probably Solaris
- Ability to bootstrap an Apple ][ from bare metal over serial or cassette ports
- Ability to send floppies in "batch" mode without having to name each one
Server
The server program runs on a computer capable of running Java. Depending on how you want to connect to your Apple, you might also need a serial port and cables, an Uthernet card for your apple, or a couple of audio patch cables. The server offers a compact user interface that shows what communications are taking place between the host and the Apple ][.
The servers primary role is to send and receive disk images as requested from the client. But if you have recently acquired an Apple and a disk drive, and you have no software for it - youre in a bit of a tricky situation if you want to move software from the Internet all the way to your shiny new Apple. ADTPros server can help get you get bootstrapped.
Client
The client side runs on the Apple ][. It handles most of the user interaction. When choosing disks/volumes to transfer, anything that ProDOS can see is fair game. Transferring data occurs with a 20k buffer on the Apple, so all transfers are broken up into 20k chunks. A progress indicator shows how far it is into the current chunk, as well as a running count of the total progress.
Enhancements:
- This release has been enhanced with Jean-Marc Boutillon (Deckard)s FASTDSK fast Disk II reading routines.
- This results in a speed boost of 25%-33% for Disk II to host transfers.
- Bootstrapping operations have been reduced, as there is no longer a dependency on ProDOS BASIC.

Puppy Linux 4.2.1

Puppy Linux 4.2.1


Puppy Linux provides you with a perfect and very useful evolutionary operating system which is based on GNU Linux. more>>

Puppy Linux 4.2.1 provides you with a perfect and very useful evolutionary operating system which is based on GNU Linux. Whats different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full featured. Puppy Linux can boot into a 64MB ramdisk, and that's it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM. Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in its entirety loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly.

Major Features:

  1. Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device (flash-Puppy), CDROM (live-Puppy), Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk (zippy-Puppy), floppy disks (floppy-Puppy), internal hard drive (hard-Puppy).
  2. Puppy occupies about 50-60M on my USB Flash drive, CDROM, or whatever is the storage media.
  3. When Puppy boots, everything uncompressed into a RAM area that we call a "ramdisk". The live-CD will bootup on systems with only 32M RAM, but the more RAM you have the more Puppy is able to keep files permanently in ramdisk hence more speed. A PC with 128M RAM is the recommended minimum.
  4. Note that Puppy will automatically use a swap partition if it exists. When booting from a USB Flash device, Puppy tries to load all the Flash files into physical RAM, but if there is not enough RAM then Puppy is able to copy the excess to a swap partition if it exists. This eliminates writes to the Flash memory during a session, greatly extending its life span.
  5. You may need to have a swap partition to run Firefox or Mozilla on PCs with less than 64M RAM. Certainly, for a PC with only 32M RAM, a swap partition is necessary to run most of the large GUI applications.

Enhancements:

  • CUPS-1.3.10 regressed from 1.4b2 to resolve ongoing issues with CUPS printing.
  • Fixed printing from Geany, Leafpad and Gnumeric using CUPS-1.3.10
  • Abiword-2.6.3 with 2.6.6 plugins has been patched for improved .doc & .docx support (Liberation ttf fonts required for some documents)
  • Pwidgets updated to 2.0.8
  • Pcrypt updated to 17 May 2009 release and now requires Ccrypt to function. Bcrypt has been dropped in consequence.
  • Ccrypt-1.7 added as dependency for Pcrypt
  • MIME-types updated in Rox-2.6.1
  • Patches for gtk+ Xinput and b43 broadcom network driver
  • Pmusic updated to 0.6.4
  • Pschedule updated to 0.7
  • Plus previously issued patches for nbtscan, mountcifs, jwm-tray, xsane, network wizard (now at April 4 release), mtpaint-snapshot, gtk+2.12.1-Xinput-fix and pcp (Puppy control panel).

GRUB Disk 0.95+cvs20040624-17


GRUB Disk package contains a GRUB rescue disk. more>>
GRUB Disk package contains a GRUB rescue disk.

It consists of a bootable 1.44 floppy image you can use to grab a rescue disk or be run in an i386 emulator, like Bochs.

GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB,
GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn.

Briefly, boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software (such as the Hurd or the Linux). The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system (e.g. GNU).

LibDsk 1.1.14

LibDsk 1.1.14


LibDsk is a library that attempts to create uniform functions for accessing floppy drives. more>>
LIBDSK is a library for accessing discs and disc image files. LibDsk is intended for use in:
- Emulator tools - converting between real floppy discs and disc images, as CPCTRANS / PCWTRANS do under DOS.
- Filesystem utilities - CPMTOOLS is configurable to use LIBDSK, thus allowing the use of CPMTOOLS on emulator .DSK images. To do this, install LIBDSK and then build CPMTOOLS, using "./configure --with-libdsk". For CPMTOOLS 1.9 or 2.0, you will also need to apply this patch.
- Emulators - it is possible to use LIBDSK as part of an emulators floppy controller emulation, thus giving the emulator transparent access to .DSK files or real discs.
LIBDSK has drivers for:
- Raw files (including /dev/fdn).
- .DSK files, as used in CPCEMU, JOYCE and other Sinclair/Amstrad emulators.
- MYZ80 hard drive image files.
- NanoWasp floppy image files.
- .CFI (Compressed Floppy Image) files, as created by FDCOPY.COM under DOS.
- The Linux floppy drive (supports CPC System and Data formats, which the standard "Raw file" driver does not).
- The Windows 3.x/95/98/ME/NT/2000 floppy drive.
- The DOS floppy drive (via the PC BIOS).
- CopyQM files (read-only)
- APRIDISK image files
- rcpmfs - a backend that makes a Unix/Windows directory appear to be a CP/M disc image.
- Another instance of LibDsk over a serial line.
Enhancements:
- Two new disc image formats (logical and teledisk) and one new disc geometry (TRDOS 640k) have been added.
