==Overview==
'''DDI''' is a sector-based disk image format.

There is a Pascal program floating around the internet which includes source code and can convert DDI files to raw sector dumps. It is called '''DOSIMG''' and can be found mainly on various Chinese websites<ref>http://download.pchome.net/system/disk/down-13054-1.html</ref><ref>http://roy.orz.hm/soft/DOSIMG.zip</ref>

 ===ddi2raw===
 '''ddi2raw'''<ref>https://github.com/SergiyKolesnikov/ddi2raw</ref> is a Python 3 script that converts a floppy disk image in a DDI (DiskDupe) format to a raw floppy disk image. The script can convert images created with DiskDupe version 5 and 7 and probably with other versions too. It was tested on images of 1.44MB 3.5" floppies.

However, the program works only on DOS formatted disk images, as it relies on reading the BPB from the boot sector.
