Well, thats just my problem.  For disks that have the .dsk extension, I use
Copy II + to format the disks in Dos 3.3 format, for the disks that have the
.do extension, I format them to ProDos format.  I have very little luck
getting any of the programs to work, although the ProDos disks tend to work
more often.

     The files ending in ".do" are DOS 3.3 order images. Usually, only .po
files are in ProDOS order. There is more about this at
http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2FLUTILS.html#006 .

     One thing you might try is booting DOS 3.3 and using INIT HELLO to
format your DOS 3.3 target diskettes. This should give you a better check on
a successful format.

     Other things ... 

o- Make sure your target diskettes are DD. Some older HD diskettes may format
but not be reliable for copying.

o- Check your image files. File size (which may be different than space used
to hold the file on disk) should be 143,360 bytes.
