Hi,
I just had to look into my PC and fall into the CG emulator from Juergen Buchmueller who even wrote a lot of games I played in history.

As I was sitting in front of one of my PCs I used to konvert floppydisks including a 40track floppydisk drive I took a floppydisk for the CG  and
used the CG emulator by buchmuelIer  to get access onto the floppy and BINGO all went well. :-)
I could see the directory, load programs and so on.

Some diskimages are here:
http://oldcomputers.dyndns.org/public/pub/rechner/eaca/colourgenie/images/cgdiscs.zip

DISK0.CGD   
DISK1.CGD     
DISK2.CGD     
DISK3.CGD       
LEARN.CGD     
MRJUMP.CGD 
SOURCE1.CGD 
SOURCE2.CGD 
UTIL1.CGD        
 

So I like to make  diskimage.CGD  from my real floppys but I don't know how to do that.

If someone can give me some hint please do it.

this is very simple, you only need a 360kb 5 1/4" FDD !!!
The problem ist, that there are at least to ways a real CG formatted the floppies with the CMD"F (?) command or the pprogram which was in one of the CG booksiassumed, fact is I could read one half of my real disk and not the other half.
