Try the MESS Image Tool (WimgTool).

It can read a variety of formats and allowed me to access a partially corrupt OS9 disk recently.

Went down and rebooted the coco, with same 2 images mounted, the coco can't see them. Changed from usb0 to usb1, restarted coco3, can now see mounted disks at /xn

But where did all the other stuff 4.3.3o had go? Much simpler interface here, and whats this vportsniffer? I have it dchecking /x0, which is where the trashed file is now mounted. Exits with
dcheck: cannot open '.' directory
Pathlist is: /x0/WP_RS/WP_RS
Error #216 - Path Name Not Found
So that didn't change. But this is fixed                                                     
Which now gives the whole root directory

dir -e /x0

 I haven't tried to copy anything in or out of it though.  The old version all sort of bells a whistles. I could even create a new disk image with it, but all that stuff is missing now.
