Various people have been asking for an image of a zip disc formatted with the
Argonet drivers on an Acorn machine that should be readable with the Bush
STBs. I've attached one to this e-mail, although it's entirely untested. In
theory, something along the following lines should get it going in Linux:

bunzip2 zipImage.bz2
cat zipImage > /dev/sda0

(making sure sda0 is the zip drive and not your hard drive!)

I've compressed it with bzip2 as zip only got the image down to 100Kb or so
(bzip2 gets it down to 334 bytes!).

I'd be interested in finding out whether it works or not (all my zip discs
are formatted like this and it's rather hard to unformat them to test it
myself). If there are problems then I can have another go.

If attachments are frowned upon on this list then I apologise, but it's only
334 bytes!

I've got a reasonably working RISC OS desktop up and running on my box (Bush
IBX-100); if people are interested I could post some information on how I did
it.
