You too man, thank you too.
I certainly will, I'm gonna try and buy an original set of floppy disks (if they turn up, saw one on ebay in the UK, went for peanuts)

sweet, I tried it with Cubasis yesterday (but same= that floppy did t have any auths left)
but the floppy was copied and written again 100%
I noticed that NybbleMaster can indeed export DiskCopy 4.x image files, so it’s possible to skip the ShrinkWrap step (I used it to convert an image so DiskCopy 5.5 could actually read it)

I wish I had read this entire thread sooner, just did,
it’s sort of related but not related LOL
But dang this was exciting, I understand now how to make a restorable image of an OS drive,
Because I’ve just been popping my OS 7.5.1 CF card from my Performa over to my PowerBook 10.4+Classic to make Disk Utility images off of the drive,
I tried restoring one earlier one yesterday and I only got errors... hehe, now I’ve read this and am gonna try it! Thanks all for your work, I love this forum (and it’s siblings)

Haven’t needed to post anything like this in a while but here goes.

I want to use an older version of pro tools and it requires a floppy diskette to do the authorization. I happen to have one, thankfully. I’m going to guess that ASR probably won’t copy over that authorization but correct me if I’m wrong. Don’t want to lose an authorization since once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Try Monte method if ASR doesnt work, but I think it should

At first I though it was a spelling thing so I checked

Both kaleidoskope and kaleidoscope .net are dead URLs

I just acquired working auth floppies for Recycle 1.61 (though that's already crack AFAIK) and Bias Peak 2 (which I don't think I was ever able to get running), and I'm wondering how to best preserve them.

I’ve been using the ASR method to create complete backups that retain authorisation codes and it works like a charm...

I did notice yesterday while I was tinkering that it doesn’t seem to carry across the authorisation code for Personal Backup 2.01.  No drama as I have it stored elsewhere but is there something specific about that app that means ASR misses it?

Is it possible to successfully restore an ASR image made in Mac OS 9 through ASR utility on Mac OS X?  Target is a Mac OS 9 partition.

Good morning Cyberish

It is wild that you are struggling with the same thing as me. I have a 150 GB OS9 installation that I want to make portable (in that I can restore it to other Macs reliably). At first I was using CCC in Tiger to clone my OS9 drive but, being file level, it doesn’t preserve many softwares’ registration status. Next I began using ASR for OS9 as this thread suggests but as you can imagine the whole thing becomes precarious and unreliable when dealing in images of this size. Not to mention slow.

Which brings me to ASR in 10.4. It seems to share all the same abilities as its OS9 counterpart, plus a few extras like sparse images. And it is far less harrowing to perform such large tasks on a G5 running 10.4 than on OS9. I have been experimenting with various combos of imaging on OS9 and restoring on Tiger, and imaging on Tiger and restoring on Tiger. I am presently imaging the latter right now and I will report back as to any successful methods I discover.
