Run with the "Convert" option.

You have my a2r file @ https://archive.org/download/Antoine_Applesauce_Vignau/Sky%2 0Blazer%20%28Broderbund%20Software%29/

I don't know if the image is correct,
Antoine

I've made a bootable (Apple II only) FDI image of Paul H.'s image using Paul H.'s EDD to FDI converter. Get it at http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/public/starblazer/

Both Passport's conversion and crack commands seem to currently require
that each track of an EDD image is readable either by DOS RWTS or by
the EDD image's RWTS.

Thanks. I tried that one first, and Applesauce wasn't able to convert
it to .Woz.

Thanks for the FDI image too. Has anyone written an FDI to Woz converter yet?

don't know for fdi2woz.
Paul wrote edd2fdi.
I'd rather see a2r2woz :-)
there is more reliable data on a2r than edd

No .Woz image yet, but I was able to convert the Sky Blazer EDD+ image
to an FDI with:

defedd.py -faq Sky_Blazer_1982_Broderbund_Software.edd

I used OpenEmulator to boot the FDI image and the Computist #46
boot-code tracing method to create a BRUNnable file for use under
Virtual ][.

What fun it was to dig up a minor variant of an old Apple classic game!

Thanks for your help!
