Correct.

That's what I thought,
but I haven't been able to do it,
perhaps because the DB Master 5.5 floppy is NOT proDOS,
nor any Apple DOS,
but something proprietary and strange:
not many files on a disk,
but one file filling the disk,
altho I may be able to export to text files on 5.5".
Thank you for stirring my noodle.
