Consequently, the disk could not be mounted by a modern operating system (e.g., macOS), because it lacked a proper
|
||||
BPB at offset 0x000B.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the *--forceBPB* option of the [DiskDump](/modules/diskdump/) utility, I was able to create a mountable disk
|
||||
image with the following boot sector modifications:
|
||||
|
||||

00000020 00 00 00 00 00 8a 07 3c 24 74 0c 53 b4 0e bb 07 |.......<$t.S....|
|
||||
|
||||
These modifications included:
|
||||
|
||||
- 0x0000-0x0002: 2-byte Intel JMP instruction followed by 1-byte Intel NOP
|
||||
- 0x0003-0x000A: 8-byte OEM signature string (we use the fake "PCJS.ORG" OEM signature)
|
||||
- 0x000B-0x001D: 19-byte BPB describing a 320Kb diskette image with 8 sectors/track and 2 heads
|
||||
|
||||
Ordinarily, only the 19-byte BPB would be required, but it turned out that macOS wouldn't mount the image file
|
||||
*unless* the boot sector also began with an Intel JMP instruction. All known PC-DOS boot sectors begin with a JMP
|
||||
instruction, so these early OEM disk images were rather unusual.
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway, I changed the *--forceBPB* option to update all 30 bytes at the beginning of the boot sector, making the disk
|
||||
image mountable, but also rendering it unbootable. But that was OK, because all I wanted to do with the image was mount
|
||||
it and copy its files. The sequence of commands were:
|
||||
|
||||
diskdump --disk=COMPAQ-DOS111.img --format=json --output=COMPAQ-DOS111-BPB.json
|
||||

||||
