Comment (by neuromancer):

 You are completely right, the instructions are confusing and not beginner
 friendly at all. I will edit them to make sure they are clear, but in the
 the meantime, keep in mind if you cannot access the data files directly
 from your Amiga disk (e.g. using Amiga tools to copy the required files),
 then the files are copylocked. This DRM is particularly nasty, and the
 only way to decrypt it obtaining a low-level dump of the disk. I don't
 think you can do it with a normal disk drive nor the Amiga. You need to
 use a special hardware like greaseweazle
 (https://github.com/keirf/greaseweazle/wiki). If you don't have it, you
 cannot create the ipf image pf the disk and the rest of the instruction
 will not make any sense. I will update wiki to make sure it is clear.
