Ron probably meant diversi-copy, a companion program to diversi-cache which
works with the //c and unidisk. Also, I know that you can copy non-protected
3.5 disks on the //c by using copyII + in "COPY-DISK" mode rather than bit-
copy. I don't have any non-formatted disks just now ( notice how you can format
a blank disk but you can't truly blank a formatted disk) to see if it would
read it like your cleaning disk.
