It's a HDD image. Like your CF image when you dump it using the posix
dd tool. It's not compatible with your superIDE.

But you can transfer from a VHD to your CF image using os9 toolshed:

os9 dsave hdd-image.vhd, cf-image.img, -e -r

Then you can restore the image on your CF card.

But .DSK images for superIDE have little utility. You need to set the
/ih device to a hdb-dos image and then use backup utility from an
image.
