TRACKSTORE DISK IMAGES
The Trackstore E and Plus can read and write to disk images stored in a special,
proprietary format called Trackstore. Trackstore images end with the APP file
extension, and each contains a 1:1 copy of a 5¼” Apple II floppy disk. With
plenty of APP files on hand, there's no need to use physical floppy disks at
all, as everything can be run directly from your hard drive. It's awesome!
I've already converted hundreds of disks over to Trackstore format,
and you can download them all here!

NOTES
To create Trackstore disk images, I connect a FloppyEmu
to my Trackstar E or Plus, and run the TSUTILIT program included on the Trackstar
Utility Program disk. It's also possible to create them using CiderPress,
however the resulting disk images will load far slower on the Trackstar than
those created natively.
The lion's share of the floppy disk images I've converted to Trackstore format
are based on the respectful and respectable “clean” deprotection efforts
of 4am and san inc, archivists extraordinaire. In addition, san inc has worked
tirelessly to ensure the bulk of his ProDOS conversions load and run perfectly
on the Trackstar E and Plus. Many thanks, fellas! |
