Re: Disk images...



Simple. The image file is an 835K image file of an 800K disk. The extra I
can only assume to be Disk Copy meta-info. Either way, I wanted to load the
image under KEGS to copy the actual utilities to a 140K image file so I can
transfer it to my REAL IIe and partition/format the SCSI drive connected to
it.

Now I wonder what would happen if I created a few HFS partitions under linux
in a file, transferred the file to my IIe and wrote the file directly to the
SCSI HD... Would that give me the partitions I need? I could use the
SCSI.PART program to read the disk then.... Now I'm getting ideas. But I'd
still like to be able to do this the conventional way!
