Make a floppy image with DART

[sean-gugler]

I found some floppy images on a 1992 CD I'd like to examine. They are in compressed DART format (Disk Archive and Retrieval Tool) so I tried mounting the CD in infinitemac and running the vintage DART 1.5.1 software to extract them. Apparently it requires a floppy device; on app startup I get an error popup "Drive Status1 error -56". The software runs anyway, but the target drives are grayed out.

If someone knows of other (more modern?) software that can decode these image files, that would be great! Meanwhile, I'd love to know how to attach a virtual blank disk to an emulated floppy drive in infinite mac, or if that's not yet possible then consider this a feature request.
