If I could only find out how to make those damned .2mg files work on a real gs...

They're byte-for-byte images of 3.5" diskettes with a (typically) 64 byte header tacked on to them. You'd need to get them written back to a physical floppy either by:

• 1) Sending the 2img file to the IIgs via a telecomms package, then using a program called Asimov (

2) Having a program like ADTPro that directly transmits to and writes the disk on the IIgs (http://adtpro.sourceforge.net)

Can they be written on a Mac instead? It's easy to download the files to an old Mac with a floppy drive. For writing images to 5.25 disks I have to use the most convoluted process involving booting off an 800K disk (made on the Mac) on the IIGS that has ProDOS and Asimov, then putting in another disk with the 140K images, then having Asimov write the images. Of course because of some $4B error you can't just put the disk images straight into the 800K disk on the Mac. First you have to put them into a Stuffit 1.5.1 file and boot GS SHRINKIT and have it expand them. Then Asimov will actually work with those disk images that were expanded.
