Floppy Emu, need help please to convert diskcopy 6.3 to 4.2

Yeah, it's those blasted Stuffit compressed files...  .sit compressed in software requiring Expander 5.5...  which won't run on a Plus... so MinivMac is of no help if you can't even uncompress the .image in the first place.  Probably a way to do it in Basilisk, but I haven't gone that route.

It's pretty sweet going from my MBP directly to FloppyEmu, but that bridge machine still leads a very significant life for all this retro Mac stuff. :)
Use the Mac II branch of MinivMac, runs expander 5.5, and the Stuffit 5.5 extension, no problem.

Also DiskCopy 6.3 runs no problem on this branch of MinivMac as well. Never had any issue.

Hi!

68KMLA forum members never cease to amaze - thank you for the instruction, consideration and time in replying.  I no longer have to worry what disk images will show up on the Floppy Emu as I can prepare them beforehand should they be a DC6 format. 

Looks like it's time to learn Basilisk as well.  My aplogies for not replying sooner. I'll reply here with how I go as I've had more files that dont show up outside of the non-standard 'The Treehouse' software as found on Macintosh Garden.
