Interesting..

I've just had a further play with your .IMG file.

I have in fact found the options within the Joyce emulator to 
load/access/read this file - I had a bit of a fiddle making sure the file 
was in the right place, and select the right options in the right order, but 
eventually...

Following that, I have extracted the J15CPM3.EMT file, the LOCOLINK file and 
also the A35.FIB file.

The J15CPM3 file is version 1.15 (or 2.15) of the PCW system, and is just 
about the latest version possible (I think).   This version supported the 
.FIB extensions, and the A35.FIB file will be the process that allows 
support for the 3.5" A: drive.   VERY interesting to have this.   I'll have 
a play with the LocoLink file, and check that I can get this to boot on my 
PC.   Interesting, although I don't need it, I can do all the file transfer 
I need using the 22Disk system on my PC, which can read/write the amstrad 
formats on either the 5.25" or the 3.5" disks - the 3.5" is easier as I 
don't need to worry about the track widths (writing 40T data using an 80T 
width head).
