![]() The inability to use DC6.3 image files isn't due to my laziness, but is because these image files are actually Macintosh files themselves, and have a resource fork. ![]() Since I didn't hear back from you after the last email, I thought you had already resolved it. I'm sorry to hear you're still having trouble with this, captaineos. ![]() If anyone ever locates the author, let me know! 80's shareware authors should have a directory or something on the web so we classic users can find them and send them their $15 or whatever. I wish I could find the author on the web so I could pay him his shareware fee, but since I can't, it is useful to know that you can eliminate the shareware limitations of pre-Pro versions by typing three spaces in the "quantity" field. I don't usually bother converting under System 7 though because moving images back and forth with my modern mac is harder, and the conversion process is slower. I forget how many save options the earlier versions have, but early versions of DiskDup+ can run under System 7. Since captaineos seems to be a new FloppyEMU user (like me!), note that while DC 4.2 image files are ideal for imaging original physical media, Steve from BMOW has pointed out that FloppyEMU really prefers dsk to image (either will work, but image is slightly slower at read/write time and may cause the image files to appear corrupted to other utilities, when in fact they are not - only a problem if you routinely move files back and forth).ĭiskDup is a great utility, whether in Pro or earlier versions. dsk image, but I prefer direct conversion when I have a pre-existing img file because it preserves the original disk data (no changed file dates, etc). Move the images to the micro SD card.īadGoldEagle's solution, just posted as I was writing this, for emulators will also work - thanks, I was hoping someone would make a suggestion for the emulator side! I use the emulator solution when I have free-floating files I want to add to a. Move the flash drive back to my modern mac, where I can plug in my micro SD card. Open each image individually, save as preferred format (and change the extension if desired), rinse and repeat. dsk format which FloppyEMU prefers to DC 4.2. Run DC 6 or (better) a copy of DiskDup Pro - DiskDup Pro can save to. Move a bunch of DC 6 images that I want to convert from my modern Mac (running El Cap) to my OS 9 mac (a MDD G4), using a flash drive initialized in the OS 9 mac so both macs can read and write it. Indeed, FloppyEMU can't read DC 6 images, I discovered this myself. The SE (3rd download) seems good!ĬaptainEos, what is your setup? What are you using for a modern mac? * If you have an Intel Mac, you can download Mini vMac "Ready-to-go" from the Mac Garden, you get the ROM file and a HD boot image. Then follow the guide above to create a DC42 image. If you want to create DC42 images, you will need OS9 and DC6 to create an image in the first place. Sometimes, you just get the file in a folder or in a. PS: Some of the software available on the MacGarden don't come as. (for a 400k image, you have to drag the contents from the DC6 floppy to the blank DC42 one)Ĩ/ Drag your image to your FloppyEMU and it's good to go MFS is not recommended though.ħ/ Then you can duplicate the DC6 "floppy" by just dragging it to the blank one inside Mini vMac. If you're using a computer with a 1.44mb floppy drive, you can use any image. If you want to create disks for a 128k/512k with original ROMs and the 400k floppy drive, choose an image in the MFS section. For you I think it's best to choose one that's inside the DC42 folder. ![]() MFS is for early Mac Systems (until 3.2 I believe).Ħ/ Mount one of the blank images. The "K" folder is for images<1Meg and "M" is for images>1Meg (as the name suggests).You will find HFS and MFS volumes in there, floppies but also HDs. I've used System 6 and it works great, even for MFS images.Ĥ/ Then download the blanks archive. It's better to use a Hard Drive one so you won't have to swap between emulated floppies. You can find one of these rather easily on the net (for copyright reasons we can't distribute them freely on 68kmla).ģ/ Get a bootable. I was actually thinking of creating a Wiki page for this.ĭo you have Mini vMac on your Mac/Windows/Linux? If not go here. ![]()
