This directory contains preformated spartados images for use with sio2pc. 

I created them because spartados and sio2pc don't seam to communicate very
well when formatting huge disk images however once an image is formatted 
spartados has no problem with the disk.

These programs were created using quickie QuickBasic program and I bit 
tiny bit of fine tuning in a disk editor.  Sorry, but I do not wish to
distribute the program I used because it is very system dependent and 
probably will not work on any other machine.

The last two charters of the filename indicate the images size in Mega 
bytes. For example "spartd08.zip" is a zip file of a 8 Mb sio2pc image.  
All of the disks are DD.

These images contain no dos.  To install a dos have both a spartados 
bootable disk and your new disk image loaded at the same time.  Change to 
the drive  with the new disk image on it and do a "DIR D?:*.DOS" (? is 
the bootable spartados disk) to find out what dos versions you have 
available.  Make a note of the dos you wish to install and copy that file 
to your new image by typing "COPY D?:<filename>".  The filename should be 
displayed as it is copying, if its not you mistyped the name.  Once that 
File is copied type "BOOT <filename>" to install the dos and give it a try!

My email address is kevina@clark.net.  If the images appear to be 
behaving strangly PLEASE let me know.  Also let me know if they work 
perfectly so I know they are ok.

EVEN THOUGH THESE ZIP FILES ARE SMALL THEY CONTAIN *HUGE* FILES.  DO *NOT*
UNZIP THEN ALL AT ONCE UNLESS YOU WISH TO USE UP 136 MB OF DISK SPACE.
INSTEAD CHOOSE THE SIZE YOU WANT AND ONLY UNZIP THAT FILE.
