11.5. Disk Parameters

The simplest disk you can create is by only giving the filename of the disk image. The rest of the parameters is then filled out by default values:

.disk [filename="MyDisk.d64"]
{
}

Like in the .file directive you can use %o notation to get the name of the sourcefile. You fill in extra parameters as a comma separated list. Here we add a disk name and an id, which is displayed in the top of the directory:

.disk [filename="MyDisk.d64", name="THE DISK", id="2021!" ] 
{
}

The complete of possible parameters for the disk is:
