This is possible; there is a program called the 1581 Boot Disk Maker by (yes)
Jim Collette.  It is distributed on Run, but available through Q-Link.  I'll
check with Jim to see if I can upload it to milton.  It is in a "special
libraries" sort of thing, so that may not be possible.  There are two
versions, one for the 64 and one for the 128.

Do you have GEOS128 right now?  If so, you may be able to upgrade for $25
still.  I'll check and let y'all know.  The upgrade is definitely worth $25;
if you use GEOS much, the upgrade is probably worth $50.  Any other opinions
on this?

>Does anyone know if they fixed the problem copying files?

I don't know about this one.  I have the same setup as you, but have never
seen the problem because I have an REU and any copies I do I do via the
RAMdisk.  This too I'll try and let y'all know how it goes.
