DiskMaker v1.0 Released

[Mark Percival <mark@syndicomm.com>]

Are you tired of 8-bit Apple II disk image software that is difficult
to use?

Have you forgotten to memorize the path and filename you needed?

You didn't remember to double check if the disk you're about to wipe
out is actually the one you wanted to use?

Have you gotten all the way to the point of creating the disk just to
realize that you forgot to pre-format your target first?

Are you fed up with brain-dead 8-bit software?

Have no fear, DiskMaker 8 is here!

Based on Eric Shepherd's popular Apple IIgs program DiskMaker,
DiskMaker 8 brings the power and ease of use of the 16-bit program to
the 8-bit world.

  through volumes/directories.

- Supports AppleShare volumes for retrieving image files. 

- Fully supports Disk ][ and SmartPort block devices for writing
  images. 

- Automatically tells you which devices attached to your system
  matches the size of the disk image you selected and what is
  currently mounted there. 

- The ability to override the size matching destination feature
  allowing you to write images to mismatching volume sizes such as RAM
  disks.
