What is dsk file? How to open dsk files?
File extension dsk is used for a disk image format. The "disk image" is typically a file containing every data byte on a diskette, i.e. Catalog tracks, files, DOS (if present) etc. One kind of disk image, NIB, tries to preserve all disk information (e.g. sector headers, sync bytes, etc.).
