I think this was discussed in the previous incarnation of 68kmla but I can't find it anymore.
I am going through all my media to archive it for eventual posting to vintageapple.org, and other places. Floppies are easy with Applesauce.
I'm a little confused about the best way to archive CDs. I started by using Disk Copy 6.3.3 on OS 9 on a Lombard. Kinda slow. It is producing IMG files. In one case, where a CD has both a data and audio component, they both showed up as mounted disks and I had to create images of both.
I assume the eventual goal here is to allow mounting directly from within the OS, as a disk image, that can be used like the CD would. I know this will work for macOS 9, but will it also work on System 8 and System 7?
What about archiving via a modern mac and Disk Utility? Is a DMG or .cdr (which is just an ISO right?) usable?
Any guidance here would be appreciated. I've got quite a lot of CDs to archive, so I want to get it right before I get too far in.
