Look at file size!!

100kB - single sided 40-track
200kB - double-sided 40-track (if .dsd), or single-sided 80-track (if .ssd)
400kB - double-sided 80-track.

No. OmniDisk can do it as well using BBC-like '*' commands, such as *COPY.

Hi All

Can anyone explain how to correctly determine whether SSD/ DSD/ IMG disk
images are for DFS40 or DFS80 disks?

Is BBCIM the only program that allows the conversion of programs from the
standard "archive format", invented by Wouter Scholten? As I have downloaded
BBCIM and do not know how to start it.

Cheers

Pete
