Mochilote released a new version of the great CPCDiskXP utility. With CPCDiskXP you can transfer disk images to real floppy disks and vice versa on the Windows OSs. You can download it from the CPCMania website and at the end of this news.

Changes:
  • DSKEditor – Support for FutureOS binary files in all Amdos header disk formats.
  • DSKEditor – Support for editing VORTEX Dsk’s (open/create dsk, manage files… with the editor and command line).
