Competing in the event of the most prolific Apple II pirate, the evil LoGo received close to 150 MECC disks (both 3.5" and 5.25" ones) from a friend in Japan at the end of 2011, and cracked them all during Spring and Winter 2011.

Let's enter the matrix:
1. A 5.25" disk under DOS 3.3
=> it is a simple change of markers. Three different series (a standard disk is D5AA96 - D5AAAD):
- AAD5AD - D596AA
- AAD596 - D5ADAA
- AAD596 - D5AAAD

I replaced the DOS on my cracks, but this is probably a better approach.
