I would assume you need to format the floppies with the appropriate format
(DOS or ProDOS depending on what you're writing) - I need to do so on my
IIGS with DSK2FILE so I presume you'd need to do so on the Mac...

I'd thought that I was doing it right. I'm using brand new DS DD
I'm not sure how old, but less than 20 years old,
and they've been
stored
under good conditions thier entire life). I thought
that was an insane
amount of time to take. The drive works for reading, I wonder if it has
issues with writting.
I just had a thought, should I have formated the floppy prior to trying
to
write the disk image to it? I wouldn't think
DSK2FILE would care.
