Hello. I've recently acquired a set of seven Xenix 286 v.1 manuals
plus the OS diskettes + the Development system diskettes. These boots,
even when I was not sure about its state. I should like to do one
copy of them in form of virtual diskettes, in a form that permits
use them with Bochs or similar emulator if possible.

Problems:

* Winimage (soft to do virtual plain copies of disks) can't read the
disks.
* The dd method under Unix/Linux give me errors. I should need to know
the blocksize of the Xenix diskettes and its density (it don't appears
in the labels). In appeareance the blocksize needed is 2048, but using
this command:

    dd if=/dev/fd0 of=xenix1_i.dsk bs=2048 conv=noerrors

...returns me one message like this:

    3+1 records copied
    /dev/fd0: error reading...
    6+2 records copied
    ...

Suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

Sergio
