When mounted on the desktop in OS 9, Disk Copy disk images look kind of like floppies. They have the exact same name as the CD, and if you can open and browse them just as if they were the CD... Beyond that, that's about all you have. Roxio Toast and Aladdin ShrinkWrap are two other apps that do disk imaging (though Toast is really for burning), but they work on the same principals. If an app makes a direct hardware request for the CD, you have to have the CD in. Period. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
