DOS 8D and disk tools

Are there any tools managing DOS 8D (the Pravetz 8D usual DOS) disk images ?

I'll look in Oricutron's code to see what is their structure and adapt tap2dsk but if someone already did that it would cool :)

There is no such Dos-8D tool.
But, because Dos-8D format is 1:1 equal to Apple Disk ][ format (140K)
you can use: Under Linux you can even 'mount' images with: Apple DOS 3.3 filesystem driver for Linux 2.4.x

The tool which is very close to tap2dsk is in Apple DOS 3.3 filesystem tools:
dos33: A userspace tool that lets you LOAD, SAVE, LOCK, UNLOCK, CATALOG, DELETE, RENAME, UNDELETE on a disk image.

Thanks a lot.

I'll try some of those programs.

Edit: Dos33 is awesome indeed :)
