I pulled a transition file from a st251 drive.  This was used to create a
disk emulation file for pdp8online mfm emulator.

So the question is, will the qbone support that file format ?

Is there a 'correct' way to convert transition files to supported qbone
file ?

Tnx

QBone and Unibone expect very simple block-for-block images of files - just like SimH (without the extra added meta-data at the end that the most recent fork of SimH adds on.)  So, suggest your question would best be over on the mfm group (I would say here, but I just don't remember offhand without looking it up somewhere.)
