AIKOUSHA  If this does what I think it does, it's a godsend for all those ancient files and disk images before Apple basically killed all old technology support (SCSI, serial, adb, HFS standard, ProDOS, Pascal, etc.).

Sad to say that even though I maintained perfect backups at both home and work (3 jobs back), most of these backups, even though on CD are unreadable and inaccessable, since they were either in older disk formats, or using a disk image system which comes up with an error similar to "no mountable systems found" in OSX.

Thanks so much for this attempt at brilliance, and I'll be testing it out when I track down my archaic CDRs.

All we need now are OSX mountable 5.25 and 3.5 (400/800k) floppy drives. Might even be able to play some of those old Apple ][ copy protected masterpieces of old.

AIKOUSHA  Tried to try this on an old Mac with an actual floppy drive, and it won't work. Apparently this requires CarbonLib to be installed on the system, and Apple doesn't have a CarbonLib that works for anything below system 8. Yet, this is listed as running under system 7 (7.5 rec). Under 7.6 all it does is complain that there's no CarbonLib, and then quits.

Anyone know where to find a 1.0 or 1.0.1 version of CarbonLib, or a workaround? Installing system 8 is not an option, as it will eat practically all available disk and RAM memory.

Thanks,
