Hot on the heels of 0.52, version 0.53 is now available. It
adds the possibility to add discs to the MMC straight from
a physical (DFS or ADFS) floppy. See below for more info.

Also, note that the old 'MMCADI1' tool forgot to distinguish
between DFS and ADFS type discs. If you have added ADFS type
discs with MMCADI1, these have the wrong subtype (DFS), and
you're advised to rebuild your MMC (remember that we were
still only 'playing' at this stage ? ;-))

Download the software from :

http://web.inter.nl.net/users/J.Kortink/home/hardware/gommc/gommc053.zip

and follow the same 'drill' as outlined on the 'guide' page

http://web.inter.nl.net/users/J.Kortink/home/hardware/gommc/guide.htm

(Updates is a text file, all others should be made available
on the machine, e.g. via a floppy, with load and execution
addresses set to &2000, then run MMCUP to update the software
on the card, hard-reset, and re-*MMCCONFIG, noting that indices
have been replaced with mnemonic names).

The new tools. There are now seperate tools to add DFS or ADFS
discs, 'DI' and 'DG' for DFS discs, 'AI' and 'AG' for ADFS discs.
'DI' and 'AI' are the old 'ADI2' and 'ADI3' tools. 'DG' and 'AG'
used to be merged in 'ADI1' but now distinguish between DFS and
ADFS discs (simply by their name, of course).

In addition, 'DG' and 'AG' can now copy straight from a physical
floppy. To do this, use '$1$', '$2$' or '$3$' as the image
'filename'. This copies :

DFS
---
$1$ : single-drive single-sided (DFS drive 0) 200K
$2$ : single-drive double-sided (DFS drive 0+2) 400K
$3$ : dual-drive double-sided (DFS drive 0+2+1+3) 800K

ADFS
----
$1$ : single-drive single-sided (ADFS drive 0) 320K
$2$ : single-drive double-sided (ADFS drive 0) 640K
$3$ : dual-drive double-sided (ADFS drive 0+1) 1280K

Note that copying straight from a physical floppy switches
to DFS or ADFS to make things work correctly. If you run
your GoMMC tools from a floppy (not via *MMCTOOL) remember
to switch back to the FS/drive they are on after each disc.

The 'playing' stage is over, as far as I'm concerned. The
current arrangement, and tools, should be future-proof, so
start building that final version of your personal MMC.
