By copying or ripping the files/data.

A 1:1 conversation is not possible.

Also most tape loaders really only load from tape. So that you need to rewrite the loader routine.

I once begun coding a DSK tool in java, but it's paused actually.

With it you can drag & drop regular CDT images onto a loaded DSK file and all files found on the CDT are copied to DSK.

I attach it for you here.

If you dont know how to start it:

When you have java proper installed it should launch by double click.

When it doesnt open with java, but with WinRAR or another zip program, put also a .BAT file into the same folder.
Content:
java -jar DSKTool.jar

It only handles 40 tracks DATA DSK!

When opened, you first should create a "New DSK".

The display turns blue then and you can begin to drag & drop your files / CDTs.
