oaknut-disc
Read the documentation — full walkthrough, cookbook, and command reference.
disc is a unified command-line tool for inspecting, extracting from, and
modifying Acorn computer disc
images — Acorn DFS and Watford DFS floppies, ADFS floppies and hard discs,
Acorn Level 3 File Server (AFS) partitions, ROM Filing System (ROMFS) images,
and ZIP archives of Acorn files — through one consistent interface.
It recognises each format by content, with a filing-system prefix
(dfs:, adfs:, afs:) to route commands on dual-partition images, and Acorn
star-command aliases (*CAT, *DELETE, *RENAME, …) alongside their
Unix-named equivalents.
Installation
oaknut-disc requires only uv, which handles
Python installation and virtual environments for you.
Run without installing
uvx --from oaknut-disc disc <command> [options]
Persistent install
uv tool install oaknut-disc
then invoke it as just disc:
disc <command> [options]
Or with pip:
pip install oaknut-disc
Usage
# List the contents of a DFS floppy
disc ls 'games.ssd:$'
# Copy a file from a DFS floppy to an ADFS hard disc, mapping metadata across
disc cp 'games.ssd:$.ELITE' 'scsi0.dat:$.Elite'
# Create and initialise a Level 3 File Server disc (ADFS host + AFS tail)
disc create scsi0.dat --geometry capacity=10MB --title Server
disc afs init scsi0.dat --disc-name Server --user RJS:2MiB --emplace Library
# Walk both partitions of a dual ADFS + AFS hard disc
disc tree scsi0.dat
