The link is here: > > http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/bergert/diskimg.htm Craig, you're a brave man to let your one-year-old have access to your email. :-) When my son was one, I was introducing him to computers with a little PC program called BabyKeys. Maybe it'll run under SoftWindows when we get done. I tried to install diskimg, but it wanted Windows NT (I'm running 95). ShrinkWrp seemed to set up OK (it's just a DOS command line program) and it did create an image differently than I created (a few bytes extra) than I did with RAWREAD. I'll be separately emailing the two disk images to you when I finish testing them on this end with Basilisk II. Got a Basilisk II issue for those of you who have more experience. Just to get up and running quickly (I'm short of hard drive space), I created a little 50 MB HFV file and loaded in the System Folder from the Mac OS 7.5 Network Access Disk. It boots OK, but there are some features I'm missing. 1) The GUI setup states that I can turn on a "My Computer" feature which allows me direct access to my PC's files. I turned it on, but the feature doesn't come up. Is there something I'm missing because of the version of the OS I'm using or because it's not a full OS install? Right now I have to use TransMac to move a file into the HFV file. 2) Disk Copy 4.2 will run in the environment, but it won't directly read a floppy. I was able to get a Mac floppy to mount, but Disk Copy wouldn't have anything to do with it. The "Read Master Disk" option is greyed out. I was able to get Basilisk II to mount the floppy (without having to create an HFV image first), and I tried both drag/dropping it to the open Disk Copy 4.2 window and drag/dropping it to the Disk Copy icon. Nada. Darren, you mentioned a Disk Copy 3.5. Would you send that to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my binary drop box)? It might work better. In the meantime, I'm going to see what ShrinkWrap does (I have 3.0 and 3.5). Gregg, if you know someone with that Quadra 650 ROM, would you ask them to send it to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ROM I'm using is a Quadra 700/900 ROM, which Basilisk II says itself "This is the worst known 1 MB ROM". This is an interesting learning experience for me, and perhaps at the end Craig will get his disks yet! Thanksamundo! Mike Webb the MUGWump (of course, aren't we all?) -- 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). I've been on the trailing edge of computer technology since 1987 and love it!
