Jeff, you might be interested in knowing that GSHK will image any
disk for which GS/OS has an FST installed.  If you have a high
density disk drive with the right controller and the MS-DOS FST
installed, GSHK will even image an MS-DOS disk (the procopy
program for ms-dos to read prodos is stored on such a disk image)
...the FST does not have to be read/write, only read...
