Image files are Windows container files that encompass the image of Alpha disks.  These show up as virtual disks on the virtual Alpha system.  Image files can be created by Avanti, copied from another Alpha emulator, or ported from a real Alpha system.  By default, Avanti assigns a .img extension to disk image files.

Note:

Note:Image files need to be sized in multiples of 512 bytes to ensure they are properly recognized by Avanti.  The configuration utility will display an error and will not map an image file with an invalid size.
