How to backup disks with MAC II??

BarryB · 16 May 2012, 00:46

So I got my MAC II cart out and tried to backup a few disks, except it won't copy a darn thing? Apart from a DOS disk and my copy of Obliterator, I can't get it to copy stuff like Killing Game Show.

Anyone know how the heck you use this device as it's got quite a few options to mess with?

Killing game show use an nasty protection disk scheme (very long tracks $2000 in size !)

I managed to back up KGS with cyclone a few months a go, but since then I think I've screwed the alignment on DF0: as I can't seem to make a working copy again with cyclone! I'd hazard a guess as this is why the MAC II is having problems!

Could I make backups of my own collection using Kyroflux rather than mess about with cyclone etc? I know it's not a copier per se, but it would be more accurate.
