DiskCopy 6.3 (NDIF) File Format

[egrath]

Hi, as the title suggests, anyone has information about the Disk Copy 6.3 file format? I'm currently preparing to implement read and write support for images in this format in Mini vMac, but can't find any information about it. Would love to have something like https://www.discferret.com/wiki/Apple_DiskCopy_4.2 for 6.3 ...

not sure if this is helpful but UDIF, the Universal disk image format that replaced NDIF when OS X came about is from what I read awhile ago based on NDIF, my understanding is that an uncompressed NDIF file internally should follow a very similar data structure/layout as UDIF files do.

might be worth checking out, but its possible im remembering things wrong too

Chopsticks is right, I read about it earlier when I was researching for HFS Workbench.

@egrath Please let me know, when you got more information on NDIF. I‘d love HFS Workbench to support (r/w) that image files…
