[] I've tried copying a disk formatted with "Formater" with the FAST format and had problems too. Since it puts a bad sector on each track, on purpose, it is no surprise that ST-COPY says "read error" and stalls. In effect, the disk is "copy protected" (yuck!)... Does anybody know of a way to copy such disks, hopefully faster than the VERY SLOW operation of programs that copy "protected" disks? Or can somebody WRITE such a program? - Moshe Braner
