Does DiskCopy 4 really make raw disk images with header? Nice! CiderPress lets you access without problem any raw disk image with header, given that you know the size of the header, and convert it to a headerless image. And if it didn't, it isn't too hard to write a simple program to strip the header from a disk image... about a dozen lines of code, I think ;-) .
Please read http://macfaq.org/software/macos.shtml#Q1.1.6 which is about using other machines to create mac boot disks. I read it as them being raw disk images. I have had no joy with this method which is why I offer images made on other platforms to folks who need them.
The instructions for dd under linux maybe useful to you, I haven't tried this one yet but will, either way they appear to be raw images with a 84 byte header. There are other types of images which is why I suggest jags house or gambas, I know next to nothing about them, one may suit your needs better.
Yes. That's the reason I'm keeping the discussion on-list, even if it may seem an off-topic. In handling with vintage computers and their data, you'll find the same problems independently of the platform, and you'll solve them in simmilar ways. Take the text of this mail, replace "Apple II" with "classic Macintosh", "ProDOS" with "HFS" and "CiderPress" with "TransMac", and you'll get a fully valid text ;-) . Even if the Apple II (a hacker's machine) and the Macintosh (a fully user-oriented machine) have little in common other than their creator.
Excellent point, sadly over looked at times. Now that the classic OS is yesterday and the machines on topic are even older it doesn't hurt every now and zen to throw around a few examples of what other platforms can do for the on topic macs, who knows, someone might do something with the ideas, it being the main reason there is still amiga software and possibly will be for a long time to come.
You must have Revival on the pc? ( image utility )
Hmmmmm... I'll have to try it...
Revival is a PC utility for making/converting 2img images, careful of the odd virus under the same name.
