Help with Floppy EMU and .img files

[tony359]

Hi all,

I am having a hard time finding images for my SE as it's a 800K version - so all the images have to be 800K.
I wanted to use Hard Disk Toolkit and I found the below:

FWB Hard Disk Toolkit 1.x - Macintosh Garden

Download #1: FWB Hard Disk Toolkit Personal Edition (PE) version 1.7.8. Download #2: FWB Hard Disk Toolkit version 1.8.

macintoshgarden.org

I tried all the 800K downloads but the EMU says "Disk image type is not supported in the current Emu mode" which I have encountered before.
Is there a way to ascertain why this happens, when it happens?

Thank you!

Are they actually 800k images?

What sort of drive is in your SE? There may be easier ways to transfer files to it instead of the FloppyEmu.

The description says 800K and the resulting extracted file is 3-400KB. EMU shows a question mark when selected. The EMU should load them anyways as 1440K - which would then not be recognised by the SE.

I have two SCSI drives, one I'm trying to test (miniscribe) and a Quantum.
The floppy drive is a 800K, I do have a 1.44MB from an SE/30 but I would need new ROM and WIM.

I am a Windows guy I'm afraid so no mac - I do have some G3's, G4's and G5's but I was hoping not to have to dig out them for this task!

BlueSCSI? HD20?

Thank you!

I think I found a better way: I am using an HD20 image which I can mount on mini vmac and where I can load any image. Then I transfer the image on the FEMU and run it on the Macintosh.

Still, if someone can tell me how to deal with the non-working images on the FEMU, that would be great. Thanks!
