I've been having all kinds of problems with copy II plus 8.3, when
copying 3.5 inch disks.  They keep coming out with the driectories
garbled, or system files munged.

Or I tried copying the whole disk file by file to my ramdrive
(1 meg slot 5 drive 1), but it kept giving me a prodos error $4a
when I tried to have more than a given number of files on the
disk.  I'm not referring to the 51 file limit of the main directory,
but it would barf when trying to place files even into subdirectories.
But when I cleared up some space on the card by deleting files the 
subdirectories worked fine.

I thought the 255 file limit was the number of files in a 
given SUBdirectory copy II+ could handle.  Was I wrong?
