There does appear to be an issue using X-Copy. Just tried to copy a WB 1.3 adf to a blank adf and it appears to copy, shows correct name if you use Diskinfo, but if you use Directory to get a files list it locks up and crashes the Amiga, if you boot the disk the Amiga says Disk corrupt! The adf seems to contain some data from the original, just not all of it, hexedit source/destination and the destination doesn't have all the data.

This is using an A500 Rev 6A with 512kb trapdoor RAM, Gotek with 0.21a, X-Copy September '93, Verify ON, didn't use KILLSYS!

Also, when you do a DISKINFO in X-Copy, what do all the numbers/letters mean? For each track it's either a number from 0 to 9 or letter A/B? On the original adf it shows mostly 0, but with the 'copy' there are numbers all over the place!
