iDSK on OS X

iDSK is a port of ManageDSK to Linux, Mac OS X and other UNIX OS made by Sid. This port is command-line only but features all the important functionality needed to manage DSK files:

• Create a empty .DSK file (in DATA format),
• Add some files in an existing .DSK file,
• Extract some files from an existing .DSK file,
• Rename some files contained in a .DSK file,
• Delete some files contained in a .DSK file,

You can download its source at Sid's homepage.

This tool works on all unix platforms, unlike cpcfs/cpcxfs which suffers from many endianness problems and can't work on powerPC, for example. The command line interface is designed for easy integration in a makefile, making it more efficient for cross-development.

You will probably want to use dsktools to write the dsk image to a real floppy.
