It is something like 1Pass1. You can specify alot of features like using Extended or Expended or HD for storage of access information. It has also a disk detect feature so that you can make multiple copies without touching the keyboard after setup. That is it detects each disk that is inserted. It will wait for you to insert the master, the moment you close the drive door it starts reading, detects the format and stores into whatever excess space you specify (ext,exp,HD). After reading, it prompts you for blank disk and the moment you close the drive door it starts to copy the information on it. It does track formating such that as it writes a track it formats it. It is pretty nifty but you have to be careful about inserting the wrong disk as it starts to write straight away. I not sure what it is shareware, freeware or otherwise, but it is very good. The only problem it expects "good" disk ie no error sectors. But then so do most other disk copiers. Regards, Michael
