As this is the only dump online, no data exist about how to read the disk. In this article, I will document my process for extracting data from this disk.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m starting with an <code>IMD</code> disk image, made via the Pauline tool. <code>IMD</code> is the file format for ImageDisk by Dave Dunfield, but any other format would work: <code>TD0</code> (Teledisk), <code>HFE</code> (HxC), etc.</p>
