Gallew) Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc Subject: Simultaneous Format/Copy Message-ID: Date: 8 Nov 90 16:32:25 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 19 Does anybody out there know of a program that will write directly to a blank (unformatted) disk for the purpose of disk duplication? I would write one myself, but while I seem to remember that you can change the character with which you format, I can't find the reference, so I can't tell if you can change each byte of the sector individually. Any pointers? -Brian You drop the bomb -more- It goes off... -more- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am *NOT* as think as you dumb I am!! | This space for rent (241-6939) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: Even I don't agree with myself! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please send me mail so I can send you mail so you can send me mail so ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------
