I used to be able to do this way back with a much earlier version of Toast (maybe on Mac OS 9) using SCSI copy but now I'm stuck. I need to be able to create an E-mu format CD on my Mac using a Jaz drive as a go-between. I have re-formatted the Jaz disk on my E6400 Ultra, backed up data from the internal E-mu drive (making sure it's less than 650 MB) and then connected the Jaz drive to the back of my Mac using a SCSI card. The Mac won't mount it but Disk Utlity does see it and appears to create a disk image from it. The problem is that I can't then mount that disk image or resize it (to 650 MB or less for the CD burn). I have tried FreeDMG to resize but it wouldn't recognise the disk image.

Any ideas?

Thanks

If I understand how the Emu disc format works (And if the various HOWTO guides on the web are correct), you should just be able to truncate the file to some appropriate size (and if you've just copied everything onto a fresh disc, it should all be up the top 2/3 where it'll fit)

Truncating a disc image is as simple as using the following shell command. You'll need to be in the same directory as your existing disk image

split -b 640m image.name splitiso.

If you remembered to put in the . at the end of splitiso, this will create two files, splitiso.aa and splitiso.ab. The aa is the first 640mb of the file and ab is the remainder unneeded space that you can delete. If you then follow the web instructions for burning your raw image file, you'll be all set.
