Download my HDB-DOS utilities and put them on your SuperIDE .   It makes this whole process super easy

Thanks for the suggestion. The way I would love to do that (not
necessarily realistic) is to have the CoCoSDC and Super IDE running at
the same time. The I could use the working SDC to transfer the
contents of SETUP.DSK to a virtual disk on the SuperIDE and flash the
broken SDC from there.

A bit crazy right. Of course other options are Drivewire (I'd have to
dig out the cables and reconfigure my server) or Real floppies (again
my drives are in storage, but that would be nothing compared to what
it took to get a NorthStar up and running).
