Once upon a midnight dreary, Tony Duell had spoken clearly:
I have been half-thinking of writing my own tools to
make disk images of
any disk my PC can read, write them back to disk, extract data from them,
etc.
Fine idea... but you may be reinventing some wheels here, at least in the
short term.
I know that the CoCo2 & CoCo3 emulator has a program that can read
individual files & entire CoCo disks on a Clone, and I think the Model
I/III/4 emulator does too... these are freeware AFAIK.
If we set up a central site where these types of freeware disk tools could
be located, then as folks find other available freeware tools, we could
just archive it in the same spot... I can set up a spot on my FTP server if
anyone thinks this is a good idea.
Just lemme know if anyone wishes me to implement this.
Thanks,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
