Please do -- my cursory investigation of copy protection schemes for
3.5" disks for the IIGS seems to show that they all rely on a funny
format for block 7, and that the PRODOS file has a small patch (two
bytes, I thought) that lets it read the "corrupted" block.

As a large disk user, I get EXTREMELY annoyed at software that insists
I insert a 3.5" disk to operate!  (Note that I paid for all the
software I use -- I'm not a thief.)
