Hi,
I figured I might try to save running cables right across the house to get my 2gs hooked up to a pc just to transfer some disk images across to be written back to disk,
and thought I might just copy them all onto a prodos volume, then write that to a cd.
The thing is, I'm not sure of how to go about creating a cd that prodos will be happy to read,
and would prefer not to have to get gs/os up and running and talking (I'm blind) for the purposes of being able to read what's only going to be 8 bit data
(no resources, etc).
I understand I can create prodos volumes with Cider Press, but am not entirely sure how one then gets those onto cd.
Do I just dump the prodos volumes inside a standard iso image,
or is there some special trick to formatting the cd?
(and in case it becomes necessary, how do i write more than one prodos volume to a single cd, or am I better off sticking to one?)
Any help much appreciated
Regards
Aaron
