One type of disk-image to emulate an Apple disk-drive? Because any disk-driveД¬an access the information on a diskette in a number of ways. Standard to virtually every emulator on every platform. There are six types of Apple ][ disk-images, of which three are Unlike the different types of images above, emulator images can be used on anyД¬omputer. (unlike modern software, most Apple ][ applications could not be installed ontoДЄ hard-drive and were dependent on the 140K diskette structure to operate).

Disk-images are used to trick theД®mulator software into thinking that there is an Apple ][ disk-drive attached Although the diskette media itself is the same, the method used to Use disk-images because the original media is not compatible with the modernДisk drives. Whereas modernД¬omputers use images to transfer physical diskettes electronically, emulators None of these image types are compatible with each other.Д®mulators use disk-images for a totally different purpose. Finally, the Amiga usesДiskMasher images.

WinImage (which is compatible with DiskCopyFast in DOS). Apple distributes its system software in DiskCopy imageДЇormat (which is compatible with programs such as ShrinkWrap and MountImageДЄllowing the image to be accessed like a real disk from the Finder). Use disk-images for storing and transferring disks over electronic networks Physical diskettes may become defective, it makes duplication of master-Дiskettes easier, disk-images can be stored on hard-disks eliminating the needДЇor unwieldy numbers of diskettes, etc.

Useful because of a number of factors - an 'image' of a diskette retains more
