This program converts in all directions between:
- STM, Gus, ApplePC (dos
order or ".dsk" and ".do" disks)
- ][ in a Mac (prodos order or ".po" disks)
- Copy ][+ image (".img" files)
Yes, this will allow you to take any .dsk file and turn it
into a real floppy image. (finally!!)
Requirements:
Mac with System 7 and PC Exchange
If you just want to convert between STM and ][ in a Mac all you
need is the program.
If you want to make disk images you need:
Apple ][ with both 3.5" and 5.25" drives
Copy2Plus.image.sit.hqx (48k)
(version 7.1)
To convert an image:
- drag it onto ImageConverter
- choose a new format, click "OK"
voala! look in the finder where your disk image was, there
will be another one there in the new format!
To make a new disk image from a
floppy:
- run Copy ][+
- format a 3.5 disk ProDOS
- copy->disk->5.25->3.5
- give the image a name. CTP will then copy the 5.25 disk onto
an image on the ProDOS 3.5
- bring the 3.5 disk to your mac, stick it in, watch it mount
- drag the CTP image to your hard disk
- drag it onto ImageConvert
- choose your format (STM or ][ in a Mac)
voala! look in the finder where your disk image was, there
will be another one there in the new format!
To make a real floppy from an existing
disk image:
- drag the image onto ImageConverter, choose "Copy ][+"
- there will now be a file called "xxx.img" (xxx
is the name of the orig image)
- and it should have a plain document icon, this is your Copy
][+ image.
- format a 3.5 disk ProDOS and drag the "xxx.img"
onto it
- bring the 3.5 disk to your Apple ][ and stick it in
- run Copy][+
- copy->disk->3.5->5.25
- choose the "xxx.image"
voala! reboot with your new 5.25 floppy!
To mount your ProDOS disk images
in the finder:
- use ImageConverter to convert the disk to "][ in a Mac"
(ProDOS order) format
- change the type of this new file to 'hdrv' (you can use Flipper)
- drag the image onto "DropDisk"
or otherwise mount the image.
Considerations:
Disk images need to have the right type to be recognized by ImageConverter.
- ".po" disks must have 'DISK' type
- ".do" disks must have 'DSK5' type
if you download some disk image, and it does not have the correct
type, you must change it before ImageConverter will recognize
it. (use resedit or Flipper or somesuch)
don't worry about Copy][+ images, they should always have the right type anyway.
