I've recently hunted pretty hard for another task, and had no success in finding a RAWRITE utility as such for any variety of the Mac OS. I read in one place that the OSX Disk Copy utility can handle raw images, and possibly ShrinkWrap can. DD is the native utility in Linux for handling creating disk images; if there is a counterpart command-line utility in OSX, that could work too (presuming Craig has a Mac running OSX). But no one's 'fessed up that they know for sure that there is a utility that runs under the Mac OS (particularly in the classic versions) that can handle a raw disk image. Now here's an idea; yesterday I finally installed a copy of Basilisk II on my PC. Has anyone tried using Disk Copy under Basilisk II? May have to give that a whirl. -- I'm a MUGWump: My "MUG" is on the Mac side of the fence (since mid-2002), and my "Wump" is on the PC side (since 1989).
