This program converts in all directions between:

��STM (dos order or ".dsk" and ".do" disks)
��][ in a Mac (prodos order or ".po" disks)
��Copy ][+ image

Yes, this will allow you to take any .dsk file and turn it into a real floppy image.
(finally!!)

Requirements:
Mac with system 7 and PC Exchange
Apple ][ with both 3.5 and 5.25 drives
Copy ][+ 7.1	

http://www.asimov.net/apple_II/site/images/utility/Copy_II+_7.1.dsk.gz

if you just want to convert between STM and ][ in a Mac all you need is the program.

��To convert an image:
drag it onto ImageConverter
choose a new format, click ok
voala!   

look in the finder where your disk image was, there will be another one there in the new format!

��To make a new disk image from a floppy:
run Copy ][+
format a 3.5 disk ProDOS
copy->disk->5.25->3.5
give the image a name
CTP will then copy the 5.25 disk onto an image on the ProDOS 3.5
bring the 3.5 disk to your mac, stick it in, watch it mount
drag the CTP image to your hard disk
drag it onto ImageConvert
choose your format (STM or ][ in a Mac)
voala!   
ook in the finder where your disk image was, there will be another one there in the new format!

��To make a real floppy from an existing disk image 
drag the image onto ImageConverter, choose "Copy ][+"
there will now be a file called "xxx.img" (xxx is the name of the orig image)
and it should have a plain document icon, this is your Copy ][+ image.  
format a 3.5 disk ProDOS and drag the "xxx.img" onto it
bring the 3.5 disk to your Apple ][ and stick it in
run Copy][+
copy->disk->3.5->5.25
choose the "xxx.image"
voala!  reboot with your new 5.25 floppy!

��To mount your ProDOS disk images in the finder
use ImageConverter to convert the disk to "][ in a Mac" format
change the type of this new file to 'hdrv'
drag the image onto "DropDisk" (contact me if you need it)

Considerations:
Disk images need to have the right type to be recognized by ImageConverter.
".po" disks must have 'DISK' type
".do" disks must have 'DSK5' type
if you download some disk image, and it does not have the correct type, you must change it
before ImageConverter will recognize it.  (use resedit or Flipper or somesuch, contact me if
you need a converter)

don't worry about Copy][+ images, they should always have the right type anyway.

To the keepers of FTP sites:
Please put this where you keep your Mac emulators and disk images

To all:
report bugs!!!
request features!!

would anyone like to mount their DOS 3.3 disk images in the finder?
How about their Pascal OS disk images?

write to me if you like this program please!  I love the Apple ][ and I love it when people can
still get excited about it!
