I did it using the instructions in an old issue of Computist but I get
the same problem with the resulting disks as I get with the images on
asimov.

I'm concerned because one day my floppies aren't going to work
anymore.  And when that happens, I would really like to have that
ability to run the program.  What's especially frustrating is that
it's not a DOS 3.3 program, but a ProDOS program.  So I really would
prefer to just get it on a hard drive and be done with it.  (I've even
got the various auxiliary disks that there aren't images of on asimov,
though it's only the program disks that are actually protected.)
