How to create Disk Image with Ciderpress

Does anyone know how to create an 800k or 1.44mb disk image in Ciderpress?

 

In the first screen I select HFS and then size I choose 1.4mb

 

When I go to save it save save in .po (pro dos order) so the saved image is a prodos disk and not HFS. In the drop down menu .po is the only option.

 

Anyone knows how to get thid to work?

 

Anyway to get .sit files on FloppyEMU so I can copy to my mac?

 

Thanks!

CiderPress

I have used never used CiderPress to create floppies, but I do use it to  "look inside" disk image files I have and into the SD image saved over from Floppy EMU.

I purchased a USB 1.4 HD floppy drive and connected it to my MacMini2,1 running either Tiger or Snow Leopard, so that I could save files from the Internet and move to Mac 1.4 Floppy.

When I need 800K floppy, I make 1.4 floppy this way, move the files over to my Mac SE/30 and copy back to 800K floppy.

I think Optima and/or Maxima required installation disks on 800K and that is how I made the floppy to then install on my SE/30.

What Files are you trying to move over to floppy?

I thought eWorld solved this for you?

USB 1.4HD Floppy drive

Invest in a $20 USB 1.4HD Floppy drive for your MacBook Pro

I think we called it "sneakernet" to move files using a floppy :) 

Do you already have Unstuffit or some flavor of Stuffit Deluxe to expand the file on your IIFx?

I dont have unstuffit on my IIfx yet.

 

I am going to create a new post for everyone  as I figured out why the Open Transport 1.3 floppy images dont work.

 

I now have open transport read to install using .dsk images I created

Open Transport

Why didn't your copy of floppy EMU come with  unstuffit like mind did?

And I wish you had mentioned open transport to begin with in this thread

I went through this problem last year and solved it and I think I posted it here as well

I think you only get an SD card with software on it when you buy a Floppy Emu, if you buy the "Deluxe Bundle", otherwise you have to buy the SD card separately.
