Tripp Lite B050-000 - Manual (Page 67)

Chapter 6. Menu Options
Using the Hide to Tray button the application is hidden, but not terminated com-
pletely. That means that an active connection will be kept active until it is closed
explicitly. You can access the software by its tray icon. The tray icon also shows
whether a connection is established or not. A double click on the icon shows
the application window, or with a right click you may access a small menu (see
Figure 6-16).

Figure 6-17. USB mass storage option
Set this option to disable the mass storage emulation (and hide the virtual drive) as
long as no image file is currently loaded. If unset and no file image will be found,
it may happen that the host system will hang on boot due to changes in the boot
order or the boot manager (LILO, GRUB). This case was reported for some Windows
versions (2000, XP), other OS may not be fully excluded. This behaviour depends on
the BIOS version used in that machine.
To set this option press the button “Apply”.
Creating an Image
Floppy Images
UNIX and UNIX-like OS
To create an image file make use of “dd”. This is one of the original UNIX utilities
and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux).
To create a floppy image file copy the contents of a floppy to a file. You can use the
following command:
dd [ if=/dev/fd0 ] [ of=/tmp/floppy.image ]
dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/fd0 and saves the output in the spec-
ified output file /tmp/floppy.image . Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs
(input device etc.)
