You can boot a NitrOS9 install with the CoCoSDC drivers and copy as normal. I backed up all my 42 track DS drives and a handful of 720K 3.5”.

Technically, if you had a patched BASIC that let DSKI$ use 80 tracks you would be able to do this in BASIC. I started down that road with a Utility I was writing back then but ended up just copying via OS-9.

At the time I was making images ahead of time with a Utility Darren provided but I think there is ab OS-9 command for making disks and such these days.

Anyone confirm?
