August 14, 2010 – TRS-80 Virtual Floppy Disk Manager Updated


Miguel Dutra has released v0.7 of his Command Line version of his Virtual Disk Manager utility for Windows. This is a small utility which allows you to access virtual TRS-80 disks at a file level, as if they were normal PC disks.

It appears that this utility can read all known TRS-80 DOS’s except for (1) CPM and (2) anything made by Percom.

Program can be found on Miguel’s web site, on the DSK and DMK Image Utilities page, or HERE for Command Line 0.7 and HERE for GUI 0.5.

The new version brings:

* CLI: Could not recognize the parameters “-td2″ and “-td3″
* CLI: Crashed when “-k” was used with long file names
* CLI: Internal Win2Trs routine generated some ill-formed file names
* CLI: Internal Dump routine now prints blanks instead of dots in the ASCII column data
* TRSDOS1: Caused an abrupt program termination when allocating granules
* TRSDOS3: Caused an abrupt program termination when allocating granules
* NEWDOS/80: Created files with less than the requested space
* NEWDOS/80: Improved disk compatibility through better PDRIVE handling
* DMK: Improved disk compatibility through better geometry detection and sector addressing
* Other: Granule allocation routines failed to properly determine the available disk space
* Other: Improved GetFileDate routines to get date values with as little modification as possible
* Other: Improved OS detection routines to reduce the number of wrong identifications
