So I have thought about it many ways, but there still seems to be no 'quick' way to get files from the PC/current world into a Cromemco System.

The exception perhaps is to create a 8" SS SD diskette IBM 3740 format and convert this using some tool (ZEMU file converter?) into an .IMD

So if cromix-fs had a way not only to extract, but write files into a Cromix .IMD, particularly a 8" i.e. CLDSDDST diskette format , this is what we actually need!

Once the PC world -> Cromemco .IMD is created then this can be loaded by HxC emulators or converted into 'raw disk image' format by other tools.

But so far nothing is able to create the Cromix IMD format except 16 bit DOS based Image Dunfield Imagedisk. and that is only converting a real disk already in CLDSDDST format, not taking arbitary files and writing them into a compatible .IMD

So if cromix-fs had this ability it would patch a lot of holes.
