I have been unable to get the OmniTool from Project D to operate.
This is the utility that allows you to do a diskcopy using the
stock Amiga drives for other formats (ST, IBM, CP/M, etc.).

The symptoms are a complete system lockup upon startup of the copy
and also the staying on of the source drive light.

Though I have a hard drive and extra memory, both were disabled and
the stock Project D disk was used for booting.  The results were the
same.

It occured to me that something similar occured months ago with Werner
Gunther's PCpatch II which at the time I had shrugged off since I had
no use for it.  This is the utility that allows the PCcopy utility to
use 3.5" drives.  I tried it again and sure enough the same results.

Fuller Systems did not know of any reasons for this effect.  Any thoughts
why this would occur on a stock system?  (B2000 Rev 4.2) 

Thanks for any advice!
