Might work, might not.  It depends upon why the original image is in .nib
to begin with.  A .dsk image contains only the decoded sector data for each
track.  A .nib contains the entire track data including headers, trailers
and the encoded sector data.  Some copy protected software messed with the
raw data so that making a .dsk images out of it won't be easily possible.
