Is there any way to copy a disk image to a floppy so that it will run properly on a real MSX?

I'm hoping to play the translated version of SD Snatcher on my MSX2, you see.

This is possible, see the msx faq:

[www.faq.msxnet.org]

it contains some utils for it.

I tired Disk Manager but can't figure out how to use it. Any advice?

If i'm right:

File->open Choose the dsk file.

Then choose file->write to disk.

You can also use dcopy (the dos program).
