This is an AROS 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 even bother
trying 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).

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)

Requirements:

 - A PPC system capable of running AROS
 - z.library (CISO, DAA, DAX, DMG and UIF plugins) - included

 - bin
 - ccd    (CloneCD)
 - cso    (Compressed ISO)
 - cpr    (same format as dsk)
 - cue
 - d64    (use with 1541-Handler)

Installation:

1. Copy Devs/diskimage.device to DEVS:
2. MakeDir DEVS:DiskImage
3. Copy Devs/DiskImage/#? to DEVS:DiskImage/
4. Copy Libs/#? to LIBS:
5. Copy C/#? to C:

Usage:

Put one of the included IDFx/ICDx mount files into DEVS:DOSDrivers (or
SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers in which case they will have to be mounted manually
with C:Mount before use).

To mount a disk image on ICD0:

MountDiskImage drive ICD0: imagefile.iso

To eject:

MountDiskImage drive ICD0: eject

Changes:

52.27 (18-May-2011)
 - Removed usage of RunCommand() in InitPlugin() function (thanks to this fix
   the external plugins don't cause crashes on i386-linux hosted AROS anymore)

52.26 (12-Dec-2010)
 - Changed error requester code to use MUI_Request function
 - DiskImageGUI images are now searched for in the following places:
    - PROGDIR:
    - PROGDIR:Images/
    - SYS:Prefs/Presets/Images/
    - TBImages:
 - Backported rewritten and improved MountDiskImage from AmigaOS 4.x version
 - Added MountHDF command to make mounting single partition .hdf files easier
