That is a lot of info.  Thanks for taking the time to provide it.

I haven't totaly researched all of the options you provided yet but it
looks like Asimov will do the job.  Asimov in its documentation said
it will not work with Bernie ][ the Rescue or Sweet 16 but I also have
a IIGS and a CF card.

I have ImageMaker for the IIGS which will make .2mg images but I
was interested in making .dsk images etc. out of my IIe 5.25 disks.
I can transfer the image to the mac after it is made.

Asimov mentioned it does not support .nib image conversion.  What
is the best program to make a .nib image of a 5.25 disk.

As I have said I have not tried all of the options you mentioned.
Does
ADTPro actually make the image too or is this only used to transfer.

My monitor on my original IIe doesn't work so I am using an LCIII with
a IIe card.  This might be a better solution if I can transfer the
5.25 disk
to the proper image on the IIe and save it to disk without
transferring it.
Then I can put it on a Mac disk.

But that leads me back to what prgram will work on the IIe to make
.nib images of my 5.25 disk.  I can transfer the image to the Mac if
I get the 5.25 disk saved to the proper image.

thanks again,
