Some I know of are: Xeno Copy from Vertex in California. This is copy protected, a pain to use and very expensive for what it is. Crossdata from Award Software, Los Gatos CA 408 395 2773 - this has 28 formats, costs $99. Media Master from MDG and Associates, Moorpark CA 805 529 5073, costs $39.95 + $2.50 S/H, has 70 formats - a good deal. Supercross from Powersoft in Dallas, this is different because unlike the others it runs on the TRS-80 Model 1,3 or 4. It lets you do things the others will not - copy between any two disks from a TRS-80, CP/M or MS-DOS machine. It includes single and double density formats, note that the PC cannot read single density disks as IBM thoughtfully left the density control out when they designed the hardware. This one costs $99.95 from Powersoft (214) 484-2976. I must say this one is great - since I am the author !. Mike Gingell, ..ecsvax!mjg
