I got e-mailed about that recently too, and the answer is 'sorta'! I did write some bits of program to do it, but it was only enough for me to know it worked, as it still requires lots of messing about to use it. I requires 2 drives and two floppies for each disk to convert, and for the BASIC part of it to be edited before each side of the disk is converted. Then the 2 floppies need to be converted to .SAD (not .DSK) format, and a binary editor used to chop off the 22 byte header, and the last half of the disk data. You are left with two raw binary sides which need concatenating to form the SDF image (well strictly a header needs to be added too, tho the latest released SimCoupe only understands files without them! Quite a lot of messing really - I've only converted about 5 disks myself so far! If anyone fancies taking what I've got and doing something better with it they're welcome to it! Otherwise I'll get around to it at some point, maybe once the next SimCoupe release is ready... Si
