How else would you make a floppy from a disk image to a disk without Disk Copy? He should be using version 4.2. I presume he is following all the other instructions on Eric Rassmusen's excellent site where he got the disk image. I know for a fact there is nothing wrong with his images. Assuming he is running System 6.x, using an 800K disk and Disk Copy 4.2, the 170's SuperDrive should be more than capable of formatting the disk.

One question though, what version of System 6 are you running? My understanding is that the 170 shipped with System 7 and the only version of System 6 which will run on it is J-6.0.7.1, or a hacked version thereof ... In which case that could be causing some unforeseen problems.
