Dialog Flux Configuration
The Flux Configuration dialog controls how DiskImageTool interacts with supported flux hardware and how flux-related operations are handled.
The dialog is organized into multiple tabs, each covering a specific area of configuration.
- Menu: Options -> Flux Configuration
The Flux Configuration dialog provides:
- Configuration for supported flux hardware devices
- Drive type and track count settings
- Logging behavior controls
- Default output location for converted images
Changes take effect after Update is clicked.
The General tab controls default behavior for flux image conversion.
Determines where converted images are saved when converting from a flux image set.
-
Last used output folder
Uses the most recently selected output directory. -
Same folder as flux set
Saves converted images in the same directory as the source flux image set. -
Parent folder of flux set
Saves converted images in the parent directory containing the flux image set.
The Greaseweazle tab configures communication with Greaseweazle hardware and associated host tools.
Specifies the path to the Greaseweazle command-line executable (gw.exe).
- Browse selects the executable
- Clear removes the configured path
Selects the drive interface type used by the connected hardware.
-
IBM
Uses an IBM PC-style interface. Two drives are available:- Drive A
- Drive B
-
Shugart
Uses a Shugart-style interface. Three drives are available:- Drive 0
- Drive 1
- Drive 2
Changing the interface type updates the available drive selections.
Specifies the serial port used to communicate with the Greaseweazle device.
-
Auto
Automatically selects the port. -
COM Port
Allows selection of a specific COM port. The list is populated dynamically based on detected ports on the system.
Each drive entry allows configuration of the connected drive type and expected track count.
Specifies the physical floppy drive type:
- 5.25" 360 KB (DD)
- 5.25" 1.2 MB (HD)
- 3.5" 720 KB (DD)
- 3.5" 1.44 MB (HD)
- 3.5" 2.88 MB (ED)
Specifies the number of tracks DiskImageTool should expect for the selected drive.
Sets the default number of revolutions to read per track.
Specifies the filename used for Greaseweazle log output.
Clicking Info runs the Greaseweazle info command and displays the output in
the information panel. The output typically includes:
- Firmware version
- Device model
- Serial number
- USB speed and buffer information
The KryoFlux tab configures integration with KryoFlux hardware and host tools.
Specifies the path to the KryoFlux command-line executable (DTC.exe).
- Browse selects the executable
- Clear removes the configured path
Specifies the filename used for KryoFlux log output.
When enabled, removes full file paths from log output, keeping logs shorter and more portable.
Saves changes and applies the new configuration.
Closes the dialog without saving changes.
- Flux support is optional and requires compatible hardware.
- Only configured devices appear in the related Flux menu options.
- Greaseweazle and KryoFlux can be configured independently or together.
- Some operations are device-specific: writing a disk uses the Greaseweazle toolchain, while KryoFlux-based verification requires KryoFlux to also be configured.
