Which was the All time best copier software? - Page 2

dirkies · 14 May 2009, 23:07

yes demon, that is the one! It even had a detailed bootblock analyser with explanations what it did too, now I remember! Very noisy with 4 floppy drives, as the drives in idle mode were clicking fast/agressively (just as the power led) like hungry animals awaiting to devour floppies!

Edit: Click on download then backup 2009-04-19 then Amiga 2009-04-19 r.rar where it should be found

actually it is the C file you need, as it is part of a coma util compil

But thanks for the tip, I just leeched it and will prob leech more from there!

Rattlecopy III with the pacman game. a must have for everyone i think.

Sorry about that, I just presumed it would be under 'R' for RattleCopy

never thought about 'C' for Coma. Can't download that stuff anyway, I'm not broadband + I have a limit and the sizes are in excess of 200Mb

wasn't there also a copier with a tetris game builtin to kill the time during copying? I believe so, but not the foggiest idea what it was called, I know it was mid 90s...

sittingduck · 16 May 2009, 11:57

Pretty sure that one was calle tetracopy...

lilalurl · 16 May 2009, 20:48

Indeed, very likely to be Tetracopy.

Look at the date of the post (and compare to here). Sheer coincidence?

tetracopy was a good one, always had that as backup up xcopy was having difficulty After that it was time for Burst nibbler to have a go. If these 3 failed, the big guns came out with cyclone apwm mode.

manicx · 18 May 2009, 11:07

XCopy. I still have the hardware bit that was coming with the software.

I second that.

Retro1234 · 18 May 2009, 17:47

X-Copy was good but I think Bust Nibbler was better -Now id vote PowerCopy

But to realy copy your mates retail games you needed a hardware copier my favorite was called mac II and this seemed to copy anything!

:Lockpick and Amiga Patch list were also very helpful - I wish the Patch list was updated!

I've zoned Rattlecopy Pro 4.0 (taken from the archive on Break's site).
A quick test says it's starting up on an A500 config, haven't tried copying anything, though.

Slayer · 20 May 2009, 02:34

I'd use XCopy too but either leave out or erase the long tracks and use cyclone for those

Either a 7 or in some cases a 2 if I remember correctly

Superduper ruled.

In the dark days at the end of the 80s only having a plain A500 with one disk-drive : White Lightning (a screenshot is here http://www.g-schnabel.net/amiga/amigamemo/white_lightning.jpg)

Later on some version of X-Copy. Dont know which. At a certain point of time there were so many "patched" versions floating around.

dirkies · 11 June 2009, 15:21

I remember how we were all thrilled at the computerclub (where we met twice a week for mainly swapping) when we discovered that the 512K expansion allowed White Lightning to copy disks in 1 go instead of 2, made everyone buy that expansion overnight
