Title: EIII Remote: How to create a disk image?
Post by: ditabeardmemo on October 03, 2010, 01:20:15 PM
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!  :)

But why creating images, just upload the files itself.

Thanks in advance! .)

It would be great to have the previous versions... from historical purposes... :) 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 !
