I've uploaded the BMUG collection to archive.org, in DC42 format (wrapped in MacBinary to preserve the type/creator codes):
https://archive.org/details/bmug-floppy-collection
Out of curiosity, did you ever make a list of the disks you had? I'm curious how many of them my collection overlaps with.
Interestingly, it seems that a couple of these disks contain a file called "BMUG Form" which appears to be a list of all the floppies that existed up to that point, along...
So far, the only thing I've found that can create MooF is Applesauce, but that requires hardware that costs almost $300, which is just too much. 🤷♂️ The Greaseweazle seems to work perfectly for what I'm doing with it, and it only cost around $30.
Actually, looking at those lists is amusing me now, because each disk has a separate app with creator code 'MIKE'. Those would have needed to be put on different disks to avoid conflicting with each other even if they had been close naming-wise ;)
The A-F disk has a bunch of higher letters near the bottom that you can't see in the screenshots, though. And of course BMX and HumpBack don't fit the scheme either. Perhaps they had to shuffle a few things around to get everything to fit cleanly on three floppies, who knows.
Okay, here goes...
Are there any tools out there that can convert .flux (or a2r, scp, kryoflux, etc.) to MooF? FluxEngine doesn't seem to be capable of it, although it can convert to a few other flux formats.
I don't think the EDUCOMP disks have any copy protection on them, although I suppose I would need to try...
None of them seem to be HyperCard, so I don't think it's any of those.
I could convert these to HFS+ or something so I could do a proper file list in the Terminal, but since that's a pain in the ass, I'm just going to do screenshots of as much as will fit in my Mini vMac window.
Mystery...
So while visiting family over the holidays, I managed to rescue a box full of floppies from a giant box of soon-to-be-thrown-out stuff in my mom's basement. Here's what we've got:
BMUG Business 1.2
BMUG Business 2
BMUG Business 3.1
