You have one more chance to extract the DSK Files...I tried it with DSK/HFV
Explorer. I know it is freeware. I've got it from a finish Website which I
don't remember, but it definetely works. You can extract the dsk image
directly to a HFv or HFx Hard file Volume. Just type DSK/HFV Explorer as a
search term into google.com and it will come up...if not give me your email
address and I'll mail it to you.
