Batch copy all files from 3.5″ Mac floppy disks with creation dates?

Open wilhelmloof opened this issue 8 months ago • 8 comments

My goal is not to create disk-image files, but to copy all files (preferably with original dates) from old Mac 3.5″ floppy disks.

FluxEngine "Read disk" was able to read and save disk-images as dsk-files. But I can't find any util that can mount or extract the files from the dsk-files. How can the individual files be extracted from dsk-image files?

"Browse files"/direct access worked with format "mac" and the options: "800kb 80-track DSDD" selected and "read/write 524 byte sectors" unselected. From there I was able to save files one by one, unfortunately without original creation dates. Can all files be batch copied using the terminal? If so, what would a correct command look like?

When is the setting "read/write 524 byte sectors" useful?
