Re: Getting FUD "into" a DOS Master Volume

["Vince Briel" <vbriel@removethisspamcamcast.net>]

Actually, you don't need Ciderpress for this transfer method. What you need 
is a serial card in your Apple II attached to your PC or Mac and a program 
called ADT. I believe there is a Mac version too but I've never used it. 
This will allow you to transfer disk images from your PC into your Apple II. 
If you don't have a serial card it is worth it so that you can transfer disk 
images onto your Apple II. Usually you transfer to/from a diskette but you 
can actually transfer to/from a dos master volume if they are 140K in size.

Cider press is a great program from working with images but you can't get 
inside the dos master area anyways. I'm surprised it hasn't been ported for 
Mac yet. I consider it a must have program and one of the best disk utility 
programs available.
