Hi Jeffa, Todd,

Yes, it would be nice to write some software that will read/write to the image files directly from windows, I just don't have the 16 hours to do this.  Currently working on building a case for my Mark-8.

Roger on the time constraints! I've been looking around the source code to see if I might want to tackle some kind of time simplifying transfer utility. Sure I've done xmodem transfers plenty of times. I'm looking to maybe simply that process. 

Do you have any notes on how you originally created disk images? Something I might RTFM on? :-)

I'm seeing some interesting routines in the ROM monitor that might make another menu item in the Monitor handy. Like this one WRITE_SECTOR:

 ;If we were transfering to a FILE, this is where we would write the
 
;sector and reset HL to the same 128 byte sector buffer.
 
;CALL WRITE_SECTOR

But while in the (M)onitor there are no DISK-x.BIN images mounted right? Can one be mounted / written to while still in the monitor? 

I'm thinking 'A' for add, or 'C' for copy additional menu item utility function in the monitor. 
Just thinking out loud... comments, suggestions welcome....
