Several years ago, dc42wrap was created to produce open-source operating system boot floppies for a PC that could not boot from CD-ROM, in an environment where the only physically accessible machines with floppy disk drives were Apple Macintoshes. "raw" disk image -> FTP -> dc42wrap FTP -> [Macintosh OS 7/8/9] -> physical floppy When Apple stopped including floppy drives in their hardware, this software fell into disuse, until someone needed to copy the contents of an ancient pile of HFS-formatted floppies onto a floppy drive-less Macintosh running OS X, and the only physically accessible machines with floppy disk drives were PCs running an open-source operating system. Even though Apple now uses NDIF as their preferred disk image format, modern software still understands DiskCopy 4.2 files, and OS X will happily mount those old HFS images on the desktop. physical floppy -> dd -> dc42wrap SSH -> [Macintosh OS X] -> mounted filesystem WWW: http://tools.ana.com/utils/
