a few more solutions have been brought forward by "MikeTomTom" on macintoshgarden...
thank god for his help!!!!
-
Mac-ette. a dos based app that reads mac disks and allows you to select which files u want to copy .. copies via "data-fork mode"? i assume that these files will be missing a resource-fork tho.. but it works!!!!
-
rawrite.. To make an image file from a Mac floppy the syntax is:
rawrite2 a: c:\name.img Moving the .img file to a Mac, use the Creator Changer to set the Creator & File types to Disk Copy's Read/Write types: "Creator Type: ddsk and File Type: dimg". From there, either lock the image before mounting or use Disk Copy 6 to convert the image to a safer Read Only or Disk Copy 4.2 format.

WinImage.. available in many diff builds for diff os'es.. im using the 16bit version for win3.11 and its working like a charm, simply pop in a disk and under the file menu select Disk, and "read disk" and it creates a .ima file (or .imz compressed) from the disk which, apparently can be copied to mac and with the addition of the creator codes, opened with our beloved disk copy!!!!!! the extracted image is saved into a directory that can be set in the options preferences pulldown menu, but u have to manually select to save to a file after the disk contents are read into memory, using file save as dialog <--- this seems like the winning solution to me!!! and alot more *Available* then macopener v2 or v3 (which i can only find on ftps i cant access or ebay auctions i dont really want to buy!)
