Using the Hide to Tray button the application is hidden, but not terminated completely. That means that an active
connection will be kept active until it is closed explicitly. You can access the software by its tray icon. The tray icon also
shows whether a connection is established or not. A double click on the icon shows the application window, or with a right
click you may access a small menu (see Figure 6-16).
Options
Set this option to disable the mass storage emulation (and hide the virtual drive) as long as no image file is currently loaded.
If unset and no file image is found, it may happen that the host system will hang on boot because of changes in the boot
order or the boot manager (LILO, GRUB). This case has been seen for some Windows versions (2000, XP). Other OS
may not be fully excluded. This behavior depends on the BIOS version used in that machine.
To set this option, press the button "Apply".
Creating an Image
Floppy Images
UNIX and UNIX-like OS:
To create an image file make use of "dd". This is one of the original UNIX utilities and is included in every UNIX-
like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux). To create a floppy image file, copy the contents of a floppy to a file. You can
use the following command:
dd [ if=/dev/fd0 ] [ of=/tmp/floppy.image ]
dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/fd0 and saves the output in the specified output file /tmp/floppy.image.
Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs (input device etc.)
