I need a COPYWRIT.EXE update to handle 80 tracks. I !!!NEED!!! a program that will copy 3.5" disks (low density) without worring about whats on the disk. I have many disks from another computer system that have been almost destroyed by a virus. I want to make coppies of the disks before I start playing around with whats left so that I don't risk going from bad to worse and loosing all of the data on them. The only problem is that the computer system the disk belong too refuses to copy them. FRUSTRATING!!!. I had a look at a program called COPYWRIT.EXE that a friend had and it seemed just the perfect thing, it copied disks that an MSDOS wouldn't read. I was all set to test it on the Amiga disks but big problem, COPYWRIT only read up to 43 tracks. Are there any updates to this program or any similar programs? I need one ASAP and I would like to test it before I buy it so a shareware program available as some FTP site would be best. Huw As a technical note, an Amiga and a PC will read eachothers disks. Amiga disks are 80 track just like MS-DOS.

TeleDisk will do the trick. I was able to copy a Commodore 64/128 disk from a 1581 drive with it. Directory PD1:<MSDOS.DSKUTL> TELED212.ZIP B 93805 901223 TeleDisk v2.11 - xfer disk into a file.

The latest version fixes problems on the faster PS/2s.
