Short:        Disk image device (adf,dms,ipf,iso,...)

This is an OS3.x port of the 52.x OS4 diskimage.device.

It is not to be confused with Thore Boeckelmann's diskimage.device, since it is
a from scratch development and not based on it in any way, so don't try to use
his GUI together with this device since it won't work (they are incompatible in
this way). The same mountlists can however be used for both devices.

Some important notes:

In order to mount .hdf files you will probably need to specify the correct
HighCyl value for the .hdf file in question (FFS2 ignores this value if
LowCyl = 0 so this is not a problem on OS4).

Large files (>=2GB) are supported if and only if the filesystem supports this
as well as the new 64-bit dospackets (like f.e. SFS\2 filesystem).

In order to get localisation to work with the diskimage.device you may have to
move the line containing the following command in S:startup-sequence so that
it's located after the C:IPrefs command or the device will always use only the
builtin english strings:
C:Mount >NIL: DEVS:DOSDrivers/~(#?.info)

with C:Mount before use).

To mount a disk image on ICD0:

MountDiskImage drive ICD0: imagefile.iso

To eject:

MountDiskImage drive ICD0: eject

Changes:

52.30 (16-Jan-2012)
 - diskimage.device no longer allocates a useless signal when it creates the
   reply-port for communicating with a device unit
 - Improved the MDS plugin (should now be able to handle more MDS files than
   previously)

52.29 (1-Dec-2011)
 - Added support for READ CD command (0xbe)

52.28 (20-Nov-2011)
 - Updated plugin API to v7 (older plugins will no longer work)
 - External libraries opened by plugins are now closed when not needed any more
 - CUE plugin now only byteswaps audio tracks when MOTOROLA file type is used
   instead both data and audio tracks (not sure if this is correct or not)
 - Added MODE 2 support in CCD and CUE plugins
