Mike PiontekFolks that use BlueSCSI with their Macs: if you download software in a .dsk image is that annoying to deal with? Is there a better disk image format to use? Or would a StuffIt archive be easier to deal with than a disk image? #MARCHintosh
theirongiant@robotspacer - for BlueSCSI, a .DSK is fine. BlueSCSI handles many types. And Disk Copy images (both 4.2 and 6.x types) do not strictly require any resource fork data to be mounted, so even if it's lost in translation, the disk should work anyway—on a BlueSCSI, at least. On a Mac, you'd have to change the creator and file type for the file to be recognized. Disk Copy 6.x would complain that the checksum is missing from the absent resource fork, but it could still be mounted.
@theirongiant Thank you! I've been planning to supply a .dsk image as well as a StuffIt 1.5.1 archive, I just wanted to make sure that would work for most people's setups. Sounds like it should be good!
