About:
Disk Jockey is a specialized utility for creating, analyzing, and manipulating disk images compatible with vintage hardware and emulators. It supports a wide array of legacy formats, allowing developers and retro computing enthusiasts to prepare software for systems like the Commodore 64, Amiga, and Apple II. The tool simplifies the complex process of managing disk geometry and sector data, bridging the gap between modern macOS and classic computing environments.

Key Features:

Supports numerous retro disk image formats (ADF, D64, NIB, etc.)
Advanced disk analysis and sector editing capabilities
Direct writing to physical media (USB floppy drives)
Modern macOS native interface

Use Cases:

Creating bootable disk images for retro emulators
Analyzing and recovering data from legacy disk formats
Writing software to physical floppy disks for vintage hardware

Alternatives:

Disk Utility – macOS built-in tool; lacks support for retro-specific formats and geometry.
dd – Unix command-line utility; powerful but requires manual handling of sector sizes and lacks GUI.
