If you just want to prevent a casual DOS copy, format your disk
with a different number of secors/track or bytes/sector.  If you
choose an appropriate format, you can easily modify the disk
parameters for reading the disk, then set them back for normal
360K disks.  This won't fool even the simpler copy programs.
