MountImage is an INIT/cdev (Control Panel) which can be used to mount Disk Copy 4.2 image files (400K, 800K & 1.4MB) onto a Macintosh Desktop under System Software 6.

It works under SSW 7.x too, but there is little advantage in using this instead of Disk Copy 6.x under SSW 7.0 and newer Mac OS's, with perhaps one exception, MountImage has no problem mounting 400K MFM Disk Copy 4.2 image files on SSW 7.x systems.

Compatibility:

MountImage may work under earlier Macintosh Systems, I've tested this as working with SSW 6.0.8, SSW 7.1.1 & 7.6.1 so far.

MountImage will only let you mount image files that reside on a local (i.e., non-network) Macintosh disk.

The disk image files will mount as locked, so that the contents are not corrupted.

[Note]: A serious bug was noted by Chad Magendanz (ShrinkWrap author), where MountImage "...can cause data corruption if the original image file is split into more than three fragments when stored on disk. In this case, MountImage can lose track of some data fragments, blindly reading and writing to blocks that may not belong to the image file, which can overwrite and damage other files on your drive. Use of MountImage is highly discouraged, even by Steve."
Chad was writing about MountImage vers. 1.2ß2 (article in full). - If this bug was present in the earlier MountImage vers. 1.1ß3, it is uncertain as vers. 1.1ß3 was supplied on all Apple Dev CD's until 1994 without updating it to 1.2ß2, before the 1st of the new NDIF disk mounters could replace MountImage as a reliable means to mounting Disk Copy 4.2 floppy disk images.
