Congrats on getting the images across!

I forgot all about Asimov (I've never used it personally). This is
great for 5.25" .dsk images, but if you want to transfer 3.5" images
(.po, .2mg) I think you will need to use one of the other suggested
solutions, as I beleive that Asimov only supports 5.25" .dsk images
doesn't it?

I personally use ADTPro for everything as it is very fast and supports
the widest variety of image types. It is also still be actively
developed and is open source (java host and 6502 assembly client). I
believe DiskMaker is also still being actively developed.
