FSX

File System Exchange is a utility to access data stored in disk images, using an interactive command-line style interface. The implementation language is C#, targeting the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

Currently the following types of volumes are supported:

  • Unix v5, v6, and v7
  • Unix tar files
  • RT-11
  • Files-11 (a.k.a. ODS-1, the RSX-11 file system format)
  • Commodore 1541/2040/4040/8050/8250

The following storage formats are supported:

  • ImageDisk (.IMD) files
  • TeleDisk (.TD0) files
  • gzip (.gz) compressed files
  • Compress (.Z) compressed files
  • .D64/.D67/.D80/.D82 files
  • raw block images

Support for additional volumes and file formats is planned, but in no particular order. Feedback about areas to focus on next is welcomed.
