You'd still need CiderPress, since the 32MB FAT file is a ProDOS image,
for example.




I think by data he meant images.


And in my experience, what I need to do is move ProDOS *files* back and
forth between my real machine and my emulation environment.

Not being a "gamer", I ditched the "floppy/image shuffle" as soon as
I got a Vulcan around 1985.  ;-)

I probably boot DOS up about once or twice a *year*--and then usually
to move a file to ProDOS!


On a Mac, Virtual II can mount/read/write and use any directory as if
it were a ProDOS volume.


Hmm.  That doesn't quite get it.  It would need to be able to mount
any *file* as if it were a ProDOS volume.
