| create empty .D64 image
I've discovered I can create an empty .D64 image by attaching an existing one to YAPE and reformatting. But, how are they created in the first place - ex nihilo? Thanks.

In Yape you have a 'Create empty D64' checkbox in the File->Attach disk image menu point.
Or, you can create a file with some hex editor that is exactly 174,848 bytes and attach it to an emulator and format it.
Or, well, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in the Windows Explorer should do the trick if you have at least one D64 already

Thanks Gaia. As we say:"If it was a snake it would have already bitten me"!

In plus4emu, I included a disk.zip file which contains an empty D64 and D81 file which can be formatted with the basic "header" command. These files are basically just 174848 and 819200 zero bytes, though
