    Is there something this does that would be more beneficial over creating an .ISO image? Always learning about new techniques.

      It’s far more flexible than something that just spits out an .iso image.

      From the site:

      “… create disk images that work in devices like BlueSCSI, Floppy Emu and PiSCSI / RaSCSI, as well as in emulators like Basilisk II and Mini vMac. The macOS version also analyzes images that either contain a single volume, or entire devices. It can show the contents of HFS, MFS and ProDOS partitions. And it can perform a few neat tricks like converting an existing image that works on Basilisk II into an image that works on BlueSCSI or PiSCSI / RaSCSI, or replacing your Lido SCSI driver by a classic driver that will improve performance in modern solutions.”

      And you can’t boot into Mac System 6 directly off an .iso … just saying.

        OIC. I was thinking this was for mounting old data on modern hardware. My bad.
