copiers

Greetings, O venerable Arseniy! Somehow [Friday 21 May 1999] at [09:40:14] there was a conversation between Arseniy Astapenko and All. They discussed the topic "copiers". Let's continue what we started... AA> What Spectrum copiers of protected floppy disks AA> are in stock? 1. "McDonald_v2.0" - supports copying tracks from sectors that have the same numbers. 2. "FmCopier_v3.1" - can emulate sectors #F5, #F6, #F7. +BAD sectors. The feature of the previous copier is not supported. :( 3. Subject written by Dmitry Lomov. But let him talk about him he'll tell you himself. ;) 4. Relatively simple protections (non-standard formats) can copy HC_v4.00 (Honey_Commander). Best regards, Felix. [I.ZX]

Hello Felix! 23 May 99 02:00, Felix Knajzev -> Arseniy Astapenko: FK> 1. "McDonald_v2.0" - supports copying a track from FK> sectors with the same numbers. FK> 2.

A year ago I copied them a PC disk on 5.25, and the packaging of various PC programs purchased for this purpose - I did not copy it... Best regards, Evgeniy aka EVP.

It contains a quick test of the number of tracks in a drive... that seems to be it. on the turbo VG it may work crookedly, since at the beginning it copies exactly measures the rotation speed, tied to the positioning time (or something like that). Now I use it to align disk drives - it works quickly, draws and doesn’t ask unnecessary questions, you just need a match in the enter paste ;) All the best. Dmitry. ..LD..X-TRADE.. [ZX]

Get Msg, Felix! 29 May 99 02:05, Felix Knajzev reported by Kirill Frolov about {copiers}: KF>> knew how to copy cross-sector garbage. And then there is the Amiga... FK> Amiga (1200) could not copy primitive protection for ZX_FORMAT#5. :) So, that defense by a specialist was made against the Amiga.. They used the fact that Amiga cannot copy a track longer than a certain length.. FK> [I.ZX] Warm greetings, Slava! [I.ZX] [Workers of all countries, unite!]
