I wanted to make a backup copy of our PUMA system disk and I couldn't find any instructions in the manual, too. You may try the following procedure: Use a AT with MS-DOS and the utility software COPY II - PC Release 5.01 from Central Point Software, Inc. Since the PUMA disk is in the MFM, 80 track format use the following commandline: copyiipc a: a: /SRC=720k /TGT=720k This worked fine for my configuration.
