Re: Need to make image from ProntoDOS floppy

I have a ProntoDOS floppy disk that is just a geometry project from 20
years ago - BASIC, other files, etc.  The thing boots and runs fine.
But when I use DISK2FILE to go floppy -> image I get [E]rrors on each
track.  I've used DISK2FILE to go floppy->image on other disks in the
past.

Are there other utils that might work better here?  Thanks!  I have an
Apple IIgs.

ProntoDOS is not protected, but it's possible that this particular
disk is set up as a protected disk--i.e.:  runs only when it is
booted, but cannot be accessed when a normal DOS is booted.

You might want to check this out.  Also, try running Copy II Plus
and see if you can CATALOG and verify the disk.
