Hello,
I'm always curious about copy protection and just found out how to use EDD on the Apple II and managed to write back some .woz file to real disks.
I also found the "Essential Data Duplicator Program Information List 4-7" PDF file to help me for some images.
(https://www.cvxmelody.net/AppleUsersGroupSydneyAppleIIDiskCollection.htm)
Using AppleWin and Saltin's Super-Transcopy (SST), I was able to write back using the pack/unpack option in EDD.
To put it simple: (using 2 disk drives)
1- Run EDD in AppleWin and run SST
2- Put a woz file in drive 1 and blank image in drive 2
3- using the pack option, this will create multiple disks in standard format (when asked for a subsequent disk, click drive 2 and put another blank image)
4- Transfert the standard disks image using ADTPRO
5- On a real Apple, run SST and use the unpack option. This will read the multiple disks and write them to the 2nd disk
Now I took the liberty to transcript the content of the PDF file to a more readable result. I did a txt file along with an odt document with some formatting.
Due to the bad quality in some parts of the PDF, you will find some "???" as I have no idea what could be written there. I did my best to deduce a lot oh them but
I'm pretty sure, there might still contains mistake. See zip file attached.
Feel free to distribute, modify, update as you wish.
Thank you.
