[comp.sys.3b1] system backups for 7300

slimick@unix.cis.pitt.edu (John C Slimick) (02/09/91)

we have been loaned two 7300's by other units
of Pitt. They want to make software backups before
they send us the software, and they are having
problems.

Of the three formats -- 360K, 720K, and 1.2M --
which does the 7300 use?

They can't get the copy disk option on the menu
system to work. Is there some copy protect scheme?
Or is there some other magic that needs to be done?

they have either 320K or 400K; this is like 360K, but with 8 or 10
sectors/track instead of 9.

this is for copying one floppy to another.  is this really what you
want?
