Containers

The root artifacts are loaded by a “container” class selected by ad-hoc heuristics in argv.py, defaulting to plain_file if nothing smarter matches.

The container class is responsible for extracting the bits and applying any metadata, for instance blocksizes on a tape, as appropriate.

Supported Containers:

• Plain file
• FloppyTools cache files
• .IMD file (aka ImageDisk)
• SIMH-TAP file
• SIMH-CRD file
• D64 and D71 files
