DUST was written in 1998 so it's lightyears old now and can only be used on old PowerPC models which has a built-in disc drive. It also needs an old MacOS (like 9.xx) so it won't run under OSX.

'''Anyway, here's how it works...'''

−
Run DUST.
 
−
 
 
−
Click on "Load a disc" then insert your disc. (If Dust crashes turn off Unmount Disc from the File Menu).
 
−
 
 
−
You will be prompted by a dialog asking for the disc size. DUST tries to determine the size by reading the disc header, but this is not always accurate.. If this doesn't work try experimenting.

−
Once the disc has been loaded, click on "Save as .ST" or "Save as .MSA" and choose a filename.

−
Run Dust.

−
Load the image as either a .ST or .MSA file then click on Save Memory to Floppy. The disc currently in the drive will be ejected.
 
−
 
 
−
Insert the disc you wish to imprint with the image. The image will be saved and the disc should work on a real ST! After saving the disc will be ejected to make sure PC Exchange doesn't try to modify it.

Note: Due to a limitations of diskdrives DUST can't format discs to anything other than 80tracks/9sectors.
