I have built a small harddisk partition named DSK: that is as large as a disk
i.e. 80 cylinders, 2 surfaces, 11 sectors per track.
It needs some calculation to match this on physical tracks.

Then I say

DiskCopy DF0: to DSK:
and
DiskCopy DSK: to DF0:

This is nearly as fast as a dual drive copy. There is additional time used
for loading DiskCopy twice and for workbench to grab the disk icons (8 secs).
