Thank you for the suggestion. I'm pretty old-school when it comes to your GitHubs and whatnots and it didn't cross my mind to use it for that purpose. I might open up Disk Jockey at some point, but right now it's a bit of a personal journey and I'd like to keep it that way. But the issue and...

Thank you. I took on Disk Jockey as a personal challenge, to see how far I could take it (I had a few things I wanted to prove to the 15-year-old I was in the eighties :). I didn't look at the existing solutions but I'm sure there's good inspiration to get from them. By the way, I just released...

Thanks! I'd love to add NDIF compatibility. However, it's a bit more tricky than the other formats, as it involves compression and relies on both the resource and the data fork (which makes it hard to handle on fork-less operating systems like we have these days). But it's on the to-do list!

Thank you so much for taking the time writing your feedback. After spending weeks working on this with little feedback (except from a select few in-the-know co-conspirators), it's thrilling to realize that this is actually helping people like yourself. And there's more coming :)

It never actually occurred to me that the sources for AppleCider were available. That's very interesting, thanks! I'll definitely take a look, but no promises that I'll ship anything! :)

That's an interesting idea! Currently, it creates an image the same size as the volume on the device you're extracting it from (not just a 2 GB one). So, yes, if it's a 2 GB volume that only contains a handful of small files, that's a lot of wasted space. The issue I'd face is that HFS can...

Thank you! :)

Version 2 is out! Check out the starting post of this thread to find out what's new!

Not at this point, no. But I'm actively working on DJ (I'm slowly getting close to a new release) so that could definitely be in the cards. Lacking an Amiga, my main issue would be testing. I'll still take a look at the Amiga disk format to see how exotic it is. You never know :) Edit: Looking...

10.11 is the earliest Mac OS version supported by Disk Jockey at this stage. Before that, the frameworks are sensibly different (mainly the interface and the data accessor stuff) and maintaining backwards compatibility becomes a huge impediment. I had to choose a cut-off point, and 10.11 seemed...

Thank you!

Hi! I have good news for you! Disk Jockey has been updated and now runs on Mac OS 10.11 El Capitan and up! Enjoy! https://bluescsi.onegeekarmy.eu/diskjockey/

As you're pointing out, SCSI2SD works in a completely different way and there's a need for a tool to simplify users' lives (I can attest, having a SCSI2SD myself). However, Disk Jockey is not meant to be that tool. Once I have a few more releases of DJ under my belt (there are some more things...

That's a cool trick but it's not necessary here. A disk image containing an actual SCSI device (like the ones Disk Jockey creates for BlueSCSI and RaSCSI) is useable by an emulator like Basilisk. Just change the extension to .img and off you go. Basilisk only presents the HFS partition and...

Thanks! No, at this stage, it only creates empty images. To be able to add and remove files would mean that DJ understands how to handle the HFS format, which it can't... ... yet :)

Thanks! The high OS requirement is due to my decision of using SwiftUI as the interface library. It's been a mixed blessing. It's very cool and fast for 80% of the work, and it allowed me to work quickly (I wanted to meet the MARCHintosh deadline). On the other hand, on macOS, it's very...

Thanks! I wrote the partitioner in Swift, following the spec in "Inside Macintosh: Devices". It's interesting to use Apple's latest language to recreate its old stuff :) Right now I'm going for the earliest Apple driver I could find (1.7.3), to guarantee the lowest common denominator. But in...

Version 3 Beta! I've been working at this new version of Disk Jockey for months and I wanted to share a beta with you all. It's shock full of new stuff and there are too many to list. But here are some highlights: Create disk images for not only Macintosh, but also Amiga, Apple II and Akai...

I see you found a way to get a case printed! That's great!

Hi there! No, the DB25 I'm selling does not have a case. Yet. This might however be the project that finally gives me a good reason to buy a 3D printer. So, not at this point but probably in the coming weeks.
