Hmmm, I have an A2500 and use PCPatch.

In fact, I discovered that PcCopy really does work - when used in
conjunction with an A2500 :^) It even works across Dnet-nfs! (slowly)

One interesting thing is that the PCPatch format program cannot find
DF3:, but the copy program can. I had used both with the A500 I had
prev. & all worked fine. I suspect it has something to do with not
having a DF1:

A500 config:

df0:         df1:         df2:
internal  1010-3.5"     1020-5.25"

A2000 config:

df0:         df1:         df2:         df3:
internal  non-existent  1010-3.5"     1020-5.25"

I will try it in 68000 mode someday - maybe.
