Converting Apple DOS/GCR to Sector Format

Post by groakus »

Hello!

I'm a digital archivist for a university library. I would like to use our Supercard Pro to convert Early 90s Macintosh disks (Apple DOS, GCR) to the *.SCP, and then HxC from *.SCP to *.IMG (image based). I don't, however, believe that HxC can convert GCR. Am I wrong?

Does anyone know of a converter that might help me? Again, I'm using Supercard Pro, so it has to convert from *.SCP.

Note: I have a KryoFlux, and it can convert the disks without a problem. However, due to licensing restrictions, it would be better for us to use the Supercard Pro.

Thanks!

The HxC software already support Apple DOS sector exporting & importing.
However the library DPLL parameters must be tweaked to analyze the Apple stream correctly. Anyway this can be done quickly if you share some of your dumps.
