Dear Bill,
I'm not quite sure what is happening, but I'll try mentioning some points:
>I have tried simply dbl clicking on the first file- that creates a >large disk image on my desktop, but no way will it fit onto a floppy.
It seems you did everything right up to here, because Disk Copy has mounted the image and it appears on your desktop as a real disk.
Did you make any changes to these mounted disks??? It is possible to add or delete files, just like with normal disks, that's why I'm asking...
If in doubt, download the image file(s) again.
Now you need a 1.4 MB floppy for each of the four disk image files. The floppies should have two holes, one for write-protecting and one to tell the Mac it's a high-density floppy.
It's best to format the floppies first, so you know they're good.
Then comes the trick:
After a disk image has been mounted (with Disk Copy), insert a floppy, and drag the icon of the mounted disk (not the image file!) onto the floppy's icon. That starts the disk-copying process.
Then you can drag both disks to the trash, the mounted image and the real floppy, and repeat the thing for the other image files.
Good luck and let me know if it works out!
