Unfortunately most coverdisks on PlanetEmu (and TOSEC) have been stored as 82 track ADFs. Completely pointless, as the last 2 tracks are just duplicate sectors of the previous ones. Whoever imaged them didn't have the any idea what they were doing.

If your FAT95 program requires 901120 byte ADFs you could try downloading a program like Grab on the Amiga side which you can do this kind of thing:

grab AAdiskbig.adf AAdisk.adf FIRST 901120

And the output file will now be the first 901120 bytes. There are many other tools you can use instead, but after the ADFs are the correct size they should transfer easily.
