A visit there should give you a feel for its scope and limitations. |
Thank you for your reply.
As far as I know there were two products from Central Point: Copy II PC was a stand-alone disk copier, and Transcopy was for use with the Copy II PC Deluxe Option Board. Transcopy is located here:
ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub/OptionBoa...ndex.html#soft
The TC software runs under DOS. The Copy II PC software was also available for the C64; I have a copy of that as well.
The board is an ISA based board that receives signals from the disk controller (on-board or slotted) and translates them as needed by the software, then relays them to the floppy drive. The documentation claims it copies everything when imaging a disk.
I installed my board on an old PC running MS-DOS 6.2. I located the documentation, which is not completely explicit, and retrieved the TC software. I had to guess about cabling but my 3.5 inch drive responds, i.e. reads and writes, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
I have succeeded in reading four Amiga-format disks and creating a disk image of each on the PC hard drive. I have not yet written them back to disk or verified their accuracy on an Amiga. Pictures attached.
Thanks again,
Charles Hudson
