Hi everyone:

I recently acquired an Emulator III rack, and the seller included three original copies of the EIII Remote software: version 1.02, version 1.10a and version 1.10a4. These are all pre-release/alpha versions; the final revision that is available on the Emulator II and Emulator III Yahoo groups is version 1.10b1.

I thought it would be interesting to share these with the group - for historical purposes - as Macintosh disk image files (.img). But for some reason, every program I try to create the image fails. Thus far I tried OmniFlop on my PC, MacDisk on my PC and Disk Copy on my Macintosh SE/30. I thought for certain Disk Copy would be able to do the job, but every single time it failed while it was reading each floppy.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? I would really like to make these files available to people.

Interesting, I would like to have these files!  Smiley

But why creating images, just upload the files itself.

Thanks in advance! .)

It would be great to have the previous versions... from historical purposes... Smiley What about to make .sit files with Stuffit..?

As far as I remember, E-Mu explicitly did *not* put a copy protection schema on EIII Remote and EIIIX Remote, so most probably just copying the files from the floppy disk (and "sitting" them) will indeed be sufficient...
Perhaps you do a small test to see if there's a copy protection built into the installer/executable by copying them to another disk and install/start the software from that new disk: does it still work ?

".sit" file require the Stuffit program. Just "zip" the files, its not a proprietary format !
