Hello,
I am trying to rescue old Macintosh executable programs from 400K and 800K floppies. I'm able to read the floppies, but haven't found a way to bring them into the latest OS X environment. I would be grateful for any advice how to use OS 9 or earlier to create .dsk files which could be loaded into Mini vMac.

Thanks for any help,

Zmac

Use ShrinkWrap (Look on Mac Garden)

Convert them to "MS-DOS" disk images. Name them [whatever].dsk

You now have DSK files.
