I’ve been using ImageDisk for creating and reading diskette images, but I’m looking for other options. What are some of the best alternatives to ImageDisk for managing?IMD files and recreating disk images? I’m open to both free and paid solutions. Any suggestions?
If you’re willing to pay, WinImage is an excellent choice. It supports a wide variety of disk image formats and allows you to create, modify, and extract disk images with ease. Definitely worth the investment if you’re working with floppy images regularly.
Thanks for the recommendation! Does it support .IMD files or just the more common formats?
Yes, it supports .IMD files along with several other formats like .IMG, .VHD, and .ISO, so it’s pretty versatile.
If you’re looking for a free option, you might want to try DiskExplorer. It’s a floppy disk image editor and works well for editing and managing disk images without the need for a paid program. It’s lightweight and does the job.
I didn’t know DiskExplorer existed! Does it have a user-friendly interface, or is it more geared towards advanced users?
It’s pretty straightforward. You don’t need to be an expert to use it, but it offers enough control if you need to do some detailed editing.
VGA-Copy is another great tool for handling floppy disk images. It’s free and relatively simple to use, though it might not have as many advanced features as some paid tools like WinImage.
I’ll check out VGA-Copy! How does it compare to DiskExplorer in terms of features?
VGA-Copy is more focused on creating and copying disk images, whereas DiskExplorer is more of an editor. Both are solid, but DiskExplorer might be a better choice if you need to do more with the images beyond just copying them.
