To transfer files between 13-sector and 16-sector Apple II diskettes, as with MUFFIN (Move Utility For Files In NewDOS.)

verb

  1. 1

    To transfer files between 13-sector and 16-sector Apple II diskettes, as with MUFFIN (Move Utility For Files In NewDOS.)

    Remember, MUFFINing a diskette won't harm your 13 sector diskette, and you can always boot 13 sector diskettes using BASICS.

    This presents no problem other than, of course, any 13 sector CCA files having to be MUFFINed to 16 sectors.

    This does not apply to normal programs; they can be MUFFINed over and used with no trouble.

    The software is supplied in DOS 3.2.1 format, and I had no problem in MUFFINing it to DOS 3.3 format.

Etymology

After the MUFFIN program written by Rich Williams at Apple, supposed to be an acronym of move utility for files in NewDOS.
