14.7 Creating a Floppy-Disk Image

Use the DiskTool utility to create a floppy-disk image file suitable for loading into the simulator. DiskTool is located in the “SimNow\Tools" directory. To create an image of a physical floppy disk, see Section 13, “DiskTool”, on page 161.

When the image has been created, it can be loaded into the simulation as described in Section 5.1.1, “Open a Simulation Definition”, on page 40.
