Has anyone had any problems with the file copier built into Super Snapshot V5?
Usually it works, but sometimes it trashes the destination disk.  It will
copy the files and then when it says "Updating Directory", it will cause the
drive to make an awful noise and will lock up the drive, before it updates
the BAM I am sure.  Anyway, after that it is pot luck to see which files
on the disk are recoverable, including the ones that were there before the
copy.  I don't think its my disk drive because it does the same thing on
my 1571 and my 1541.  Has anyone had this happen, or do I have a bad cartridge?
Is there a way around this, because I really like the idea of having a file
copier that doesn't need to be loaded?
