LeWinter mjl@vms.cis.pitt.edu > mjl@pittvms.bitnet Central Point Software, in Oregon, markets a product called CopyIIPC, designed to back-up copy-protected software on floppy disks. One of the products they market along with this is a piece of hardware called the CopyIIPC Option Board, which comes in (I think) two varieties: ordinary and deluxe. I forget what the difference between them is, but the board comes with software that allows you to copy files from MAC disks to PC disks. In fact, you can copy virtually any file or disk from virtually any floppy to virtually any other (virtual copy heaven! :-). You can diskcopy from 5.25" to 3.5", you can read/write MAC and PC format disks, in fact you can _format_ MAC disks on your PC, etc., etc. The only thing I can't figure out how to make it do, so far, is copy from the Commodore 1741 "intelligent" drive format. Anyone know of a utility for that? Regards. -- Mark A.
