First public release.

mac68k-disk creates and edits floppy disk images for the classic 68k Macintosh:

  • MFS 400K, the file system of the Macintosh 128K/512K (64K ROM), readable by every 68k Mac
  • HFS 400K, 800K and 1440K
  • copy files in and out as MacBinary (I, II, III) or raw forks, with type, creator and resource fork
  • new, add, ls, get, rm, mkdir, info

One small C program without dependencies. Images are raw sector images (.dsk, .img) as used by Mini vMac, Basilisk II and floppy emulators.

Install on Debian / Ubuntu / Raspberry Pi OS (glibc 2.34 or newer: Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04, Raspberry Pi OS bookworm or later):

wget https://github.com/bircher988/mac68k-disk/releases/download/v1.0/mac68k-disk_1.0_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./mac68k-disk_1.0_arm64.deb      # _amd64.deb on a PC

From source (Linux, macOS, any Unix): make && sudo make install.

mac68k-disk new Apps.dsk                 # 400K MFS (--hfs for 800K HFS)
mac68k-disk add Apps.dsk Hello.bin       # MacBinary in
mac68k-disk ls -l Apps.dsk
