[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Disk Info

la@doc.ic.ac.uk (Liaket Ali) (11/23/90)

Hi Netters!

Could someone send me any pointers to info that goes into greater detail about
the Amiga disk drives i.e. Descriptions of MFM, GCR, Sync/Index pulses. etc.
I have the hardware reference manual but I didn't find the section on disk
drives useful. (I couldn't understand it!)

Also does anyone know who is responsible for copy-protection on disks. Do I, 
the software developer, need to protect the game that I am writing. Or do I
leave it to the publisher?

Thanks for any help.

Please don't send me *FLAMES* about the ills of disk copy protection. In the UK
piracy is a serious problem in the games industry and I don't wish to get
ripped off after putting in so much work in my game.

However reasonable alternatives to copy-protection will be gladly received if
sent only by E-MAIL. (don't clog up the net unnecessarily)

That's all
