My INFO-ATARI subscription has lapsed into never-never land with the
move of CANADA01 last week and I haven't read any replies directly to
the net. I have attempted to mail directly to the people who mailed me
with a request but our mailer can't crack the following:

oplinger@ra.crd.ge.com (B. S. Oplinger)

If you have a gateway please let me know.

PS when you duplicate using BLITZ you should watch it VERY carefully
to ensure the tracks are not skipped and duplication doesn't pause.
I think the several reports of problems duplicating are due to loss
of synchronization, not inability to copy.

PPS a backup of KULT disk 1 worked fine for a while, then stopped. I
think the bit timing might have been too tight and the quality of the
media I duplicated to permitted a bit to 'migrate' (FCI too high for
the media?). Anyway, I backed up again and it's ok now.
