Description

It would be great to have the option to import Unidisk 3.5 disks, it avoids the hassle of having to import multiple disks in the standard .dsk format.

Research direction

Start by tracing BizHawk's existing standard .dsk import path and identify where Apple II disk images are handled. Compare the required Unidisk 3.5 .2mg format with that path; done means .2mg files can be imported without requiring multiple standard .dsk files.
