Description
This article is from the Apple ][ Emulator Resources Guide, by Alex Maddison with numerous contributions by others.
6.1.4 2IMG Universal Format (2IMG/.2MG)
This image is usually 800K in size, and is a proprietary format used by the XGS multi-platform IIgs emulator as well as Bernie ][ The Rescue on the Macintosh. It usually has the *.2MG extension. The size of the image is due to fact it contains a copy of an 800K 3.5" disk (usually ProDOS) rather than a single density 5.25" disk (although these may also be imported into 2IMG format by the utilities below). The format is primarily created by converting a ProDOS 800K disk into a DiskCopy image on a Macintosh, and then using the XGS "Image" utilities by Matthew Conte <itsbroke@ix.netcom.com>, or "Revival" by Thomas Fok <thomas@glink.net.hk>. "Revival" can also convert DOS 3.3 Ordered, ProDOS Ordered, and ApplePC HDV images into 2IMG format. The 2IMG format is explained at: http://www.glink.net.hk/~thomas/2img.txt
