10.019 How can I convert Diskcopy images to diskette or to other formats?
Diskcopy is a Mac disk image format with names ending in ".dimg", ".img",
".image", or with no suffix. (Sometimes, incorrectly, ".dsk" is used.) The
typical length of a Diskcopy file used for an Apple II 800k image is 838,484
bytes*. On a Mac, you can use the Mac Diskcopy utility to convert diskettes to
images or images to diskettes.
On a IIgs, you can use Clone or Diskcopy to convert a Diskcopy image to
diskette. (It may be necessary to set filetype to $E0 and auxtype to $0005 in
order for the file to be recognized as a Diskcopy image.)
Clone is more user-friendly. Both utilities work fine for converting
Diskcopy images (such as those on the Golden Orchard CD) to 3.5" diskette. If
the Diskcopy file was created under a version greater than 4.2, you will
probably need to do any conversions on a Mac which can run a later version of
Diskcopy.
On a PC, the XGS utility Imgutnew.exe can be used to convert most
available Diskcopy images of Apple II software to 2MG image format. The
Diskcopy image name may need to be changed (spaces removed, etc.) to fit PC DOS
format in order for Imgutnew.exe to work.
