I just checked the size of the disk images for Bard's Tale 3 and all
three of the ones i have come up as 143,358 bytes. So that should be
fine to transfer from disk image to real disk. Any ideas why it isn't
happening?


You'll probably have to add two more bytes with a hex editor.
Or on Unix/Linux do

echo -ne '\0\0' >> diskimage.dsk

Greetings,

You're going to have to step me through using a hex editor, in an
Apple II emulator on my Mac, to ad the couple missing bytes to any of
the disk images of the boot disk for BT3. Back when the Apple II was
my primary computer I copied lots of games from friends, but that was
using things like Copy II+ or Locksmith, I was never a hacker and
never tried doing any hex editing. So I'm open to any suggestions you
might have about how to do it.


It might be as easy as creating a new disk image in an emulator
and copying the short image to it using a sector/block copy.
