: Yeah, IMHO Asimov is probably the best disk
imaging utility on the Apple II.

More than likely, not. If you use GS-SHK,
it will be between 500-700 depending on
how much empty space there is, and other
things. It has a file imager and a disk
imager. That's what I use, then I can
bring it to the PC and I use CiderPress
to further manipulate it by extracting
files I don't need on the disk, and adding
others that I want on it.
