Apriboot rewrites the boot sector of the selected disc (or image), converting it
between standard PCDOS format and the format used by the Apricot PC / Xi /
F-series computers.
- -type TYPE
- Determines which driver is to be used.
- -retry COUNT
- Set the number of times to attempt to read the disc in case
of error.
- -comp COMP
- Select the compression method used on the source disc image
file (has no effect when reading a floppy disc).
- -side SIDE
- Determines which side (0 or 1) of the disc (image) is to be
identified.
- -format FORMAT
- Selects a fixed format. Should not be necessary.
- -apricot
- Forces the program to convert to Apricot format; if the
boot sector is already in Apricot format, does nothing.
- -pcdos
- Forces the program to convert to PCDOS format; if the boot
sector is already in PCDOS format, does nothing. If neither -pcdos
nor -apricot is supplied, the boot sector will be set to the
opposite of whatever is currently in use.
