There are two programs called "mwrite" and

Mirage disk images. In theory they could do SQ80 images too, if you could
modify them to read and write both sides.
The disk format is a little odd - read about it here:

Basically sectors 0-4 are 1024 bytes long, and sector 5 is 512 bytes.
Thank you,
URLs posted yesterday explicitly stated that the Ensoniq Mirage format
was 10 512 byte sectors.
What you just posted matches what I had encountered. But I had only one
sample diskette, that didn't have enough content to analyze the file
system; and the owner of it died before he got around to giving me
another.
I hope that Allison is reading this thread.
Not for the 8 foot disk in the subject line,
but for the mixed sector sizes, combined with a sector numbered ZERO.
