Re: dsk images
Here's the method and steps I use with my Mac to get a .dsk image file
ready to turn into a real disk for use on my IIgs;
(A) Get the flipper program for the Mac, drag and drop the .dsk image
file over the Flipper program icon, then change the New Type to: DSK5
(using all upper case), then change the New Creator to: pdos (using all
lower case). Press OK and Flipper program will save it as a REAL disk
image file (.dsk).
(B) Get the IC (image converter) program for the Mac, drag and drop the
.dsk image file over the IC program icon, select Copy ][+ and press OK.
(note: if the disk image is already a xxx.img file, then IC will do
nothing with it. If it's a xxx.dsk file, then it will save a copu with:
xxx.img). The xxx.img file is ready for Copu ][+ to take and convert
back to a REAL 5.25 disk on your IIgs.
Simply copy the xxx.img file to an 800k ProDOS disk, take it out of the
Mac disk drive and shuttle it over to your IIgs disk drive, boot up the
Copy ][+ program (Version 7.1 only works). Select copy disk from the
drive that have the 800K ProDOS disk - with the xxx.img file, to the
5.25 disk in that disk drive and Copy ][+ v7.1 will make a REAL disk
of the program for use on your IIgs or any other Apple II that the
program will run on.
Another alternative (which I've been told about - but have not tried
myself) that, if it works properly may be a bit more simple to try - is
to get the NinjaForce Apple II program 'Asimov', copy the disk image
file to your 800K ProDOS disk on the Mac, take that 800k ProDOS disk
over to your IIgs, run the NinjaForce Apple II program 'Asimov' and it
should do the same job for you, resulting in a REAL 5.25 disk of the
program.
If this is all to complex to deal with and understand, then email me or
give me a telephonme call and I'll be happy to answer your questions and
assist you until you understand the process completely and get a working
Apple II disk from the process.
If you don't know where to get the programs mentioned above, I'll be
happy to tell you where to download them all from.
Cheers,
Tom
