If I dare jump in, I'd phrase it the other way around. The source media is the authoritative copy; hacks and cracks are the compromises. On 20 April 2012 13:48, Aleš Keprt wrote: > Yes, but these compromises are needed for 1 disk of 100, while 99 of > 100 do work with DSK. So if somebody sends

You know my disk extractor and other utilitie are dated 199x. And I don’t like this. I think 95% or even more of disks overall don’t need any special disk formats, and there are many software utilities which support simple DSK/MGT/SAD because those programs are much older than 2005. It isn’t a
