I wrote this script over 20 years ago and looking at it now, I struggle to understand what I was doing. However, I have managed to at least make this code work using php7 and higher versions. So you can now once again easily enjoy the greatness that is s2kdie. I am still testing all the commands so there may be an update in the days to come. Let me know if anything is broken.

Way back I set to work using a page put together by Paul Kellett (the author of akaidisk) that had most of the information regarding the way the disks are laid out and so on. You'll need PHP 7 and above and fdutils 5.0+ to read/write floppies. The script should work on other operating systems besides Linux, but without fdutils floppy read/writes won't happen.

Seeing as the S2800 and S3200 both use the same operating system as the S3000 I think it's safe to say s2kdie should work fine with images from both of them. I could add support for S1000/S01 easily enough, but I'm not 100% on the disk format and need an image or two for testing. I'm working on adding auto creation of programs on WAV import, should make life a bit easier.
12/06/25   I finally got the script working in php 7 and above so we're back on the road.

15/11/20   I corrected a couple of errors in the script and updated the README.

08/09/06   I did end up getting myself a SCSI cable for my S2000 so I've kinda given up on s2kdie.

07/01/06   Thanks to Motz (from Regensburg), the Akai OS 4.0 upgrade disk is now available. After a good bit of effort he managed to find an old Atari ST disk in his collection which he sent me an image of. It contained Jules Vluegel's AkaiSeX program and the OS (in AFX format). I was able to extract the files, figure out the AFX format (delete the header and there's your Akai file) and then dump them to an S900 disk using s2kdie.
