Hi folx, I've tried making .dsk and .nib disk images of my PFS:file originals (both the master and backup disks in the original package). When I run those images on an emulator, they both seem to start to boot, then the screen switches to hi-res, and bands of randomly coloured pixels appear - see: http://www.macassist.com.au/graphics/PFS_Disk_Image.jpg I used ADT for the .dsk image, and NIB2FILE for the .nib image - can anyone suggest ways around what I suspect are copy-protection issues here so I can make usable backups of my PFS:file disks? As mentioned above, I have the full, original package, and want to do this for backup purposes. I've tried it on a real Apple //e as well as a LC IIe card, both of which successfully boot from said disks.

Thanks a million!
