When emulating a floppy disk or RAM Disk, the data is stored in RAM on
the SV441DUSBI itself. In order to emulate a CD-ROM disk drive, a web
server is required to provide the CD-ROM image data. The Web server
must be accessible to the unit, which communicates with it constantly as
data is needed.
Floppy mode: Choose the Format as floppy button to switch to floppy
mode. Under Windows, the drive will be identified as a “high density
floppy” and will typically be assigned a drive letter of B:
The capacity is limited to 1.44 megabytes in this mode. The purpose
of supporting floppy mode is to permit the use of floppy-disk images
generated by other systems (e.g. the flash BIOS upgrade process is
performed with a special floppy and is bootable, emergency repair disks
are often floppy-based etc.). You can transfer bits from that floppy to the
SV441DUSBI (use the upload disk image form) and boot from the special
floppy.
CD-ROM Mode:The SV441DUSBI does not store any data in this mode.
Instead, it emulates a USB CD-ROM drive with a disk inserted. The data
from that disk must be provided by an external web server. You will need
a copy of the CD-ROM contents that you want to emulate as an ISO file.
This is a byte-for-byte copy of track one (the data track) of a data CD-
ROM. The ISO file must be made available on a web server that can be
accessed by SV441DUSBI. To switch to this mode, type in a URL pointing
to the ISO image, and click on Commit. The system will connect to the
web server and test the file for access. If successful, you will be shown a
short report on the file contents, and the disk will be ready to use.
Please note that the only way to preview or browse the contents of the
CD-ROM image, is from the host.
