  • C64/1541 copy:

    From Ice_Breaker@particlesbbs.dyndns.org@3:770/3 to All on Sun Mar 5 12:03:20 2017
    Hi! I finally have a working C64/1541 disk copier but not a file copier. The
    working disk copier is Online Copy. Any suggestions for file copiers? I have an NTSC C64C and a plain 1541 drive.<

    I think it depends if you're going to
    do this with a single disk drive or
    two.

    For dual drives of any type, I really
    like CMD's FCOPY+. It was originally
    supposed to be for their hard drives,
    etc, but it works with everything.

    For single file copying, Maverick has a
    decent copier. Also, if you get a
    hold of the Super Snapshot 5 cartridge,
    its copier will use any extra RAM
    that you have.

    If you're using Jiffydos, it also has a
    built in copier though I've never
    used it.

    One.

    Maverick didn't work reliably on my system. :(

    I don't. :(

    Hello, and Maverick V5 was a great all-around copier including
    parameters for dealing with copy-protection schemes. There was even a
    sector editor for GEOS-formatted disks. Maverick was the one package
    that "did it all".

    Having said all that, for speed and ease-of-use with one or two 1541
    drives, no one IMHO could top Basement Boys Software's "Fast Hack'em"
    coded by Mike Henry. And it worked on stock (unmodified) 1541 drives. Sincerely,

    I thank you for your offer, but I can't download from there without registering, and I'm not ready to register at this time. :( BTW, somebody gave me what I needed. :)
