I just got Shadowgate and I love it. Problem is: it is copy protected (big surprise:')) I was allowed to copy the second disk with the database on it to my hard disk. However the application would not cooperate. When I bit copy the #1 disk using Copy II Mac (version 5.4) the last track returns a status code of 'L' regardless of what options I use and the resultant copy loads the program and then reboots the system. Has anyone out there successfully backed up the #1 disk from Shadowgate, and if so how? If using Copy II Mac, which version did you use and what tricks were necessary. I love the game but don't want to risk ruining the master disk. Thanks in advance. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Howard Moskovitz AT&T Bell Labs @ Liberty Corner, NJ ihnp4!io!howard

Best $40 I wasted :-). But seriously folks, great game, excellently executed, but big-time copy protection... I NEED to back up my disks! In the dorms here, we just got $350 phones that have a 300-19200 baud Hayes compatible modems, and a separate dataline from the voice line, but... they generate a hell of a lot of magnetic waves! I have lost sevaral disks by way of kind souls returning them, not to my disk holders, but rathers 2 inches from the phone. Needless to say, when someone was about about to put my Shadowgate package (they hold the disks nicely) there, I found myself practically smacking it out of their hands. I have realized that I am desperate to back up disk #1. > Has anyone out there successfully backed up the #1 disk from >Shadowgate, and if so how? If using Copy II Mac, which version did you I have tried everything I know, and if all else fails, I may call up Mindscape and order a backup... If anyone has successfully backed up Shadowgate, PLEASE post you replies to the net!!! >----------------------------------------------------------- > Howard Moskovitz > AT&T Bell Labs @ Liberty Corner, NJ > ihnp4!io!howard ============================================================================= Darren Jay Hacker Internet: dhac@tut.cc.rochester.edu "The fault, dear Brutus, UUCP: dhac@ur-tut.UUCP \ / ,|. is not in our stars, (or) ...{ames,cmcl2,decvax,rutgers} X ( | ) but in our software !rochester!ur-tut!dhac / \ `|'

It is now supposed to function correctly on all Macs - something previous versions didn't do. In this case, since your last version was 5.4, it's probably worth the $18 to upgrade. > Howard Moskovitz > AT&T Bell Labs @ Liberty Corner, NJ > ihnp4!io!howard Robert Hammen Computer Applications, Inc. hammen@csd4.milw.wisc.edu Delphi: HAMMEN GEnie: R.Hammen
