If you know the geometry of the disk you want to write, you could use greaseweazle's
conversion function to take the "raw" files (which I presume are just straight
data dumps w/no formatting information) into an IMD or something. IMD's format
includes the diskette geometry in it so the ImageDisk tool knows what to write, and other
software that uses IMD uses the embedded geometry to know what the disk looks like.
"Raw" volumes are typically just straight sector data dumps with no indication
of sector sizes or tracks.

I’ve also got multiple UCSD disk images in ‘.PDSK’ format. Converting these to be able to
mount them using SIMH would be very useful to me.
I have a Z80 set of files and .dsk images that will run UCSD Pascal using SIMH.
I’d like to get a PDP-11 version of the same running.
The UCSD Pascal mailing list "UCSDPascal(a)groups.xn--io-02t may be of some assistance for
these endeavors.

Can anyone here tell me what tool I can use to create
DSK, DMK or IMD files from files with the extensions
"raw" and VOL? I am once again trying to get the CPM
Adaptable System for UCSD Pascal to work on an emulator.
I would also like to try and get the PDP-11 version of
UCSD Pascal running again and that requires the same
ability.
