I think I will use a combination of things:
- Copy the whole msx hdd to a CF card using IDE-CF (all 6 partitions)
- Use Linux or "Hiren's Boot CD" to create a diskimage from the CF card.
This way the msx hdd cannot be damaged accidentally AND I don't have to worry about loosing files because non-ascii characters were used in the filename (>127). This last bit is the reason I do not want to use a file copy method but a bit-copy method instead.
I already mailed Rob Hiep to purchase a IDE-CF. Hope he still has some left...
The thing I need to know now is if the 'dd'-image will work with BlueMSX. To check this I already emailed Daniel Vic. If the image is not compatible then the best way is to create the cd-rom, as suggested. However, I'm afraid some files cannot be written to cd because of invalid filenames.
