- Macdiskimage v1.0
-
- Set of tools to read/write 1.44 Mb Mac Floppies on a PC and convert them to
- diskimages which can be used on Macintosh emulators on DD-drive equipped
- Amigas or real DD-drive equipped Macs.
-
- Since most Amiga computers do not have HD floppiedrives as standard (except
- for the A4000), we have a problem using Macintosh software which comes on
- HD Disks.
-
- We could use a Mac to convert 1.44 Hd disks to an image and store them on
- 720K disks, but we need a mac to do that. A lot of us (including me) don't
- have access to a mac, but do have access to PC's. (There are a lot of them,
- really... ;)
-
- MacImg together with Gspoin and ConvImage (all included) will do the job as
- fast as possible.
-
- The image can be written in an Macbinary FAKE encoded Apple Diskcopy image.
- It is not really a DiskCopy image, it is more a kind of a hack. You will
- need MountImage (Freeware from Apple) AND DiskCopy (Freeware from Apple)
- AND DiskDup+ 2.7 (Registered or unregistered, Shareware) to make it a 100%
- image which can be mounted using MountImage.
-
- Detailed information is given in the Session.doc
-
- I have successfully installed Symantec C++ 7.0 (6 disks) and several Mac
- Format coverdisks, all without errors, on a ShapeShifter equipped Amiga.
-
-
- The image can also be written in RAW format. In this way the file can be
- mounted as a filedisk.
-
- On the PC:
-
- Macimg reads a Mac 1.44 Disk and writes it to a (splitted) file.
- The fileparts are copied directly to disk.
-
- On the Amiga:
-
- GSpoin will rebuild the imagefile from 720K floppies on the Mac side (Using
- Mac:). ConvImage can convert the image between a raw and MacBinary encoded
- format.
-
- Needed tools summary:
-
- PC: - MacIMG.exe (included in this archive)
-
- Amiga: - GSpoin (included in this archive)
- - CrossDos (pc0: etc..) (included with Amiga OS 2.1+)
- - A Mac emulator with an amiga-side accessible partition or
- filedisk. For example Mac: when using ShapeShifter.
-
- Mac: - Unstuffit 3.51 or MacBinary (For decoding macbin)
- - Mountimage 1.2B1 (Mount the fileimage)
- - DiskDup+ 2.7 (Making a correct checksum of the Fake-image so
- Apple DC can read it) )
- - Apple Diskcopy 4.2 (Making a 100% FileImage)
- (All NOT included in this archive)
-
-
-
- Handy (not necessary) tools:
- PC: - Gspoin.exe
- - ConvIMG.exe
- Amiga: - ConvIMG
- (All included in this archive, see docs)
