Re: Apple ][ Disks Transferred - FREE of Charge !

Actually, I also got ADT working recently, and was trying to do .NIB
disk images.  The answer appears to be a program called SST (Saltine's
Super Tanscopy), which should be at ftp.apple.asimov.net in
images/utilities/disk utilities/sst ... or something like that.  I
haven't actually tried using it yet, but the instructions seem fairly
clear.
