I am trying to use DiskCopy 4.2 to put the system 7 images onto diskettes. I got DiskCopy and system 7 from ftp.apple.com, and am doing this work on a Mac II with the Dove enhancement (I think that makes it a IIx...). DiskCopy seems to load the images alright but after it prompts me to insert a diskette when I try to make a copy it "Quits Unexpectedly" with various error numbers (28, 1, 64(?)). After that it is necessary to restart the machine. I cannot figure out if this is a problem with DiskCopy, the image files or the hardware. It acts this way no matter which image file I try to use. Using a different floppy disk seems to have no effect. When I try to use it to copy a floppy of my own it bombs at the same point. It reads the master floppy alright, but quits when it tries to make a copy. I am using the Virex 3.2 init and some others...I wonder if any of the inits are getting in the way of DiskCopy working properly. I used `mcvert' on the Sun workstation to "de-hqx" all the downloaded files and Unstuffit Deluxe to unstuff them. Any ideas??

This may have nothing to do with your problem, but it seems that DiskCopy cannot cooperate with Silverlining disk partitions... -- Gerald A.
