You need the Cyclone II hardware/software combination which comes with
X-Copy II from Cachet software in germany.

Don't know, but Project D won't cut the mustard.

If it's X-Copy II it's for real. The 'hardware' consists of two back-to-back
db23's (male/female) with various connections. I have the exact details at home
but it's stuff like data-write-enable connected to data-ready. It makes the
disk light stay on...I guess it gives the software full control over writes.
