Hi everyone,

I just try disk2fdi to make image of my old Apple II disk but even
with working disk (tested on apple II computer) disk2fdi just say (16
bad sectors) each line.

Does exist another softwate to make image of apple II disk or another
method ?


Since you have a working Apple II, use a disk copy program to make
a fresh copy of the disk.  If this works, then the disk has a "normal"
format and the fresh copy has a better chance of being readable by
disk2fdi.


By the way, what is the difference between DO13 and DO16 switch ?


DO13 is for 13-sector disks, created by DOS 3.2, while DO16 is for
16-sector disks created by all other Apple II operating systems.


And I don't know if my 5.25 floppy is 360k or 1.22mb if it can make
the difference while we read apple II disk ..


IIRC, a 360k drive is more likely to work, but it's been a while...
