So it looks like I'm not the only one who gets tangled in all of these file formats. Which format is most preferred? It seems like .dsk and its associated formats are the one. What about 2MG?
2MG can have some nice meta-information. It's widely supported. It's also nice because it eliminates any of the "po vs. do" ambiguity inherent in typical floppy images. Further, some knuckleheads used a .dsk extension for DiskCopy 4.2 images, and even some .sdk shrunk images. So ".dsk" is overloaded and ambiguous.
But I secretly like .po for its raw simplicity... just ProDOS ordered blocks, no questions asked. Any size you like.
