Imaging Disks

  • I have some original games and I want to help. What do I do?
  • Why is a Commodore Amiga needed to image disks?
  • Where is the disk imaging software? I can't find it anywhere on your site!
  • Why does your disk imaging tool need 68020+ CPU's?
  • What if my disks have errors?
  • Can I use my high density disk drive?
  • I have a "Magic Pack Amiga 1200" from Amiga Technologies. Will this be a problem?
  • My disk drive might be a little shaky, will it be okay to image disks?
  • I think there is something wrong with my floppy drive. I can't read the disks it writes in other drives!
  • I need to get a new floppy drive, are there any models you recommend?
  • Why do you want to know what cylinder my drive supports reading to?
  • Why does your tool report my drive is only capable of reading to cylinder 78?
  • Why are the disk images so big?
  • I imaged a disk twice, and they produce very different files! Is this normal?
  • What happens if a disk image is damaged before it gets to you? Does it contain file integrity information?
  • How could my disk have become modified or copied?
  • Can you use a 1541 drive to dump C64 (or any other 5 1/4 inch) disks?
