DSK has no header, so it is good as long as it has .dsk file extension...
Well, and what is that "MaxiDOS"?

Subject: NVG DSKification
I have been going through all my disks and making copies of the ones with
bad sectors that I couldn't before the most lovely SamDisk2.0 was born.
I have also been going through NVG as I nicked an entire copy the other
month and grabbing stuff that I haven't got locally and I realised that
there are still a lot of TD0's, PAK and such others so I have decided to
work my way through the NVG files and make them all DSK.
Before I start in earnest I thought it would be wise to check to make sure
that no-one else has done this already, as it would be a good bit of
pre-processing work for samcoupe.org.
With a nod towards the disk formats issue, I have decided unilaterally to
go for DSK for several reasons:
1. It easy.
2. Most of the stuff on NVG is PD and not subject to odd formats.
3. DSK will hopefully be convertable to any future all-encompassing format
(which I still strongly favour)
Anything I find with MaxiDOS is invariable broken even under TD0 so I will
make a note to go hunting for it later, anything else I'll make a note of
and leave it.
