Hello Jonathan,
     As someone else mentioned, the COPY II PC Option Board will copy it for
you, but that is a hardware board which you will have to purchase.  But, low
and behold, there is another way to back it up...  The program is called
COPYWRITE, and it is from Quaid Software which is located somewhere in Canada.

     A few years ago, I sent a EA game to Quaid to get a version of COPYWRITE
which will allow me to back it up, and they said that they were working on one.
So, as time went by, I could not wait any longer.  But, about 9 months after
I got my disk back, they sent me a letter telling me about this NEW version of
COPYWRITE which will allow you to make a backup of EA games...  So, that is
the story..  Sorry I don't have an exact address, but this should help ya out
a bit...  Hope this works for ya..
