[Coco] SuperIDE restore to CF card from a VHD file.

[Mark Rawson]

This is my first post here and I'm fairly new to using Cocos, so please
excuse any dumb questions.

I'm a UK retro-computer collector and own a couple of NTSC Coco 3
computers. One of which, I purchased with 512K RAM and a SuperIDE from
Cloud 9.

The first thing I did (before even testing the SuperIDE) was to make a
backup of the included CF card using the Win32DiskImager tool.  This
created a file with a .IMG (presumably RAW) extension. However, I've since
found a 300+ MB image online, taken from a SuperIDE CF card, which appears
to be in .VHD format which is full of goodies and works well in the VCC
emulator.

My questions are:

Which program was used to create this VHD file?

and

Can I restore this to a 512MB SanDisk CF card and use it in my SuperIDE on
my real Coco3? If so, which tool/program is required to write a VHD image
back to a CF card?

Does the image need to be converted to another format before restore?
Again, if so, which tools/programs should I be downloading?

I have access to Mac, Linux and Windows (in order of preference).

I don't have a great deal of experience with the Coco. I don't even have
much experience with the Dragon 64 I also own. The Dragon wasn't as popular
as the Sinclair Spectrum I owned back in the day and UK Dragon owners were
the butt of jokes from Spectrum, C64, Amstrad and even BBC Micro owners.

I'm willing to make amends now though, so please be kind.
