Disk Jockey can also perform a few neat tricks like:
- Convert an existing image that works on Basilisk II into an image that works on BlueSCSI or PiSCSI / RaSCSI
- Replace your LIDO SCSI driver by a classic driver that will improve performance in modern solutions
- Extract partitions from existing device images and inject them into new devices
- Save individual files and whole directories from your disk images on your computer (and if they’re Macintosh files, rescue their resource fork too)
- Export the structure of your disk images as JSON files for further analysis
- And more!
All versions of Disk Jockey are free 🎉, but you can always buy me a coffee if you want:
If you like it, say hi on Twitter, on Mastodon or send an e-mail to dj at onegeekarmy.eu (in one word). I’m OneGeekArmy#1358 on Discord.

It runs natively on Intel and Apple Silicon machines. It supports Dark Mode 🤘. It’s sandboxed and has been notarized by Apple so you know it won’t mess anything up. It works offline, calls no external library and tries its best to not be a resource hog. It’s made mostly of love and coffee.
Note that you will need to move it outside of your Downloads
directory (/Applications/
or ~/Applications/
would be good places).

Here is some documentation. As you’ll notice, Disk Jockey has grown a lot since #Marchintosh 2022, and so has its bag of tricks.
