[Coco] Making a disk image

[Robert Gault]

This has been discussed in this newsgroup before and a Disk Basic or 
possibly Basic09 program was posted for doing a .dsk file to disk 
conversion. Do a search via the news.gmane.org access or your saved 
e-mail and you should find it.

First you must be able to move the files into a real Coco system. That 
will mean having a very large RAM disk or a hard drive. Then you will 
need to take a formatted disk, open it for sector by sector writing (in 
Disk Basic that's DSKO$), and move the .dsk image sector by sector to 
the disk.
