At this point I'm *seriously* disgusted with DSK2FILE. I transferred
"Asimov 2.0" over to my //gs, and I'm able to successfully create the
floppies!
On a related note, will Wizardry I run on a Apple //gs?

I'd guess yes, as more than likely any disk images you find out there
are the cracked version. It'd also depend if Apple Pascal ran on the
IIgs. (Which again, I'd guess yes on)
Hardcore Computerist(?) once published an article on how to deprotect
Wizardry I. (If anyone happens to have/know of that article, I'd kinda
like to arrange get a copy of it (Xerox/Scans are fine) for nostalgia
sake.. - yes, I did spend many many hours as a teenager putzing w/
Wizardry I's protection scheme)

I never did see a cracked version of Wizardry. And I can't remember where
my attempt ended up. I think I was stymied by some synchornization check
later on in the program. At any rate, it was easy enough to copy. You
just had to make sure you set the "Synchronize tracks" option in the copy
program you used.

I should have that issue (I have nearly a complete run of the magazine).
If I have time I might re-visit cracking Wizardry.

Like I said, some people should not be allowed to write software.

I don't see why not. It's Apple Pascal based so as long as Apple Pascal
can run on the //gs then...
