Note that the emulator handles different formats - an entire disk image
including a defensive FAT partition (I've written about this before) and
just an Oberon filesystem image, starting with sector 29 from the Oberon
filesystem (29 is the first sector: as usual see the Project Oberon
book).
You can use any extension you like - I tend to use .FS for filesystem
images, and .dsk, .img or whatever an emulator demands for disk images.
Certainly, in the world of virtualisation in general, there seems to be
absolutely no standardisation on file extensions. What's more of a pain
is when an application insists on one, which thankfully the emulator
doesn't.
Windows XP? Cool! What's your IP - oh nevermind I'm in. ;-)
Seriously, most development tools no longer support Windows XP for a
whole host of reasons so it might be quite hard to build a version
without a lot of work. Does the build from projectoberon.com work (link
"Windows")? I built this some time ago using Cygwin (I don't remember
it being particularly hard to do). (This also contains Windows batch
file versions of pcsend and pcreceive which you might also want.)
HTH,
Paul
