Dave Dunfields Imagedisk

Good work!, many thanks to Dave Dunfield and you for this :bigups:

As per the file contents seems that only command line tools has been ported. I suppose you don't have plans to port the GUI version to a ncurses version for example...

I have no plans to port that graphics-based tool. Would gladly accept git merges from anyone who does, however!
 
I seem to be having the same problem that the original poster on here had with IMD. IMD was working fine on my Zenith-148 ( DOS 5.0 ) machine a few days ago without any trouble at all. Then after transferring some IMD files it started dying when I tried to (W)rite a disk. It also acts up when I just go into the program and immediately escape out. Have ran memory diagnostic for a few hours, done chkdsk on the hard drive, virus scanned ( using a 2006 version of F-PROT everything I had transferred ) Have tried IMD 1.20 and I think 1.07 ... same thing with both and those versions run perfectly on an Athlon K-6 box running DOS 6.22. Weird that it was working, then it just crashed when trying to get the list of files to (W)rite and otherwise the box seems to be fine. Totally puzzled with this. Anyone know of a DOS virus scanner with more up to date av files???
 
made a bootable floppy on my working system with just command.com and imd on it and took that over to the Zenith and it dies right where it's supposed to show a list of files to pick one from ... exact same behavior as before ... ( different command.com and 2 different imd versions ) ... sure seems like a hardware issue on the Zenith. Checkit thinks the memory is fine, as does the Zenith monitor memory test. Checkit also thinks the processor/system board is good but the test seems awfully quick. Looked at the 8088 and it's an MBL8088-2 with what looks like an 8623 date code that should be after the 8088 bug.

Neither may detect an addressing problem. Maybe one does, but only detects some addressing problems.

If it is within your means try both Ruud's Diagnostic ROM and XTRAMTEST. Of those, the first that I suggest you use is the 'Running as a program from DOS' option of XTRAMTEST.

Thanks. I built the loadxtrt.com file from that xtramtest link, and let it run for about 3 hours ... we didn't find any memory errors but it looks like a nice set of tests. Maybe some weird seldom used processor instruction ????
