[opencbm-user] How-to Rip a CP/M-formatted 1581 Disk to a .D81 Image (???)

[Myke C. <su...@my...>]

Hello,

Yesterday I found a set of 5 CP/M 1581 disks I'd prepared for myself 
back in the late 1990s.

I noticed they still have the old DATE.COM on them which isn't Y2K-OK.

So I thought I'd just make some .D81s from them and make the necessary 
revisions in VICE on my Linux box since that would be the fastest, 
easiest way for me to fix that little problem right now.

But when I tried to create the image, it failed... because CP/M formats 
a 1581 disk differently from how it formats with a 1571?

All I'm seeing with these is a single, small USR file... which looks 
nice compared with seeing whatever random binary content happens to 
reside on what would normally be the directory track... but it also 
seems to be making it "impossible" to image the disk as well.

What am I missing here?
