[comp.sys.mac] What's minimum memory for Apple DiskCopy

  Has anyone been able to run DiskCopy, the program to copy the disk images
onto floppy disks, on a 1 Meg system?  Running off my hard disk (6.0.4), 
the program either gives me an ID error 2, or other times starts up but
them gives me the watch cursor (ie. busy).  This was even after disableing
all my inits.  I found an old System 4.2 boot floppy and tried that, but
then the program said it didn't have enough memory to install the special
floppy device driver.  The doc on the program says you may get this error
if you try to use it "on a 128k or 512k Mac under MultiFinder", but I'm no
where close to being that low on memory.  I will be upgrading to 2.5 Megs in
a week or so, which should solve the problem, but I would like to be able to
do the OS installation now, especially considering how long it took me to
download all the images.
