is it at all possible to backup mpc60 flash cards to pc?

i back up my 2000xl flash cards to pc all the time so i can re-use the same card. just wondering if there is a way to do this with an mpc60 flash card. i have mpceditor and can get the 60 and pc to both read a 3000 formatted card but it is not partitioned the way the 60 format is. curious if anyone has worked this out.

if you have a mac it might work copying the partitions. windows cant see more than one partition. i threw a card in my linux machine and it **** up all my programs. i was thinkin theres gotta be some program that can just copy the whole disk image.

Done way back ... even before this forum existed.

Mentioned in this forum many times.

Answer re-posted here for you:

For backing up as an image file the contents of a MPC SCSI disk:

1: FREE ...

Use it to make a *.DSK image file of your connected SCSI drive.
Or use it to send the *.DSK file to your connected SCSI device.
I suggest practicing with a non-mpc disk first time around. Use it's "PHYSICAL DEVICE" options when transferring images. Don't try pulling individual files with it.

2: Minimal $$$

Intstructions available at the web site.

3: Expensive and complete over-kill ...

Forensic utility that can image drives like nothing else.

4: The best option for 99% of Windows based MPC users.

The MPC Editor has a disk back up and restore function.

Hope this helps.
