Have you tried using FWB Hard Disk Toolkit ?

Well I'm glad ProType is working for you.  I've tried it with forked
DSK images and usually get mixed results.  Generally the files will
unfork but occasionally they won't.

The only other problem I have with my //e card/LC575 combo is the
occasional corruption of ProDOS partitions on my LC575's SCSI hard
drive.  Sometimes this occurs when I transfer unforked files across to
ProDOS subdirectories.
