- If de mac-floppies containing the software are 1.44 Mac HD format, and you have
- access to a PC with a 1.44 drive, you can use MacDiskImage (misc/emu
- Aminet).
-
- Use it to put Apple Diskcopy images to 720K disks, import and rebuild them on your amiga and
- mount them with MountImage. You can install packages up to 8 1.44 HD disks in this
- way.
