Hi Dean,

MountIt is a permanent Finder extension which opens disk image files
and installs them as block devices so that they become available to
any GS/OS application. It opens files previously created with disk
image tools such as ImageMaker (Sheppy) or Asimov (Ninjaforce). It
does not offer any cable setup similar to ADTPro, see it as the volume
mounting of .DMG files under Mac OS/X.

An enhancement I would like to see to ADTPro is the ability to copy a
file image from host to host instead of being obliged to use a disk as
a source or as a destination. A disk image file copy feature instead
of an image disk copy.
