Hello Andy,

I did it the other way without problems -- I converted a non-standard 
disk to two standard disks with SST on the real Apple, transferred them 
with ADT, then made a working .nib image using a copy of SST that was 
running on an emulator. I never managed to do this in the direction PC 
-> Apple though.
