Re: Where's the Disk Image capability on Copy II+?

  Andy,

        There are a few emulators on the Mac that can handle disk
images created by CopyII+.  Bernie to the Rescue, IIe 3.0 and STM
although they might not work directly changed over.  I think I had to
change the creater and file type.   When I get a chance I will take a
look on what I did for these emulators to work with CopyII+ images.
