RATTLECOPY PRO 4.0 INFO FILE
First of all I like to thank everybody who helped me with
bug-reports, tips, routines, donations etc.
With your help this program improves, so you and I have the
benefits of this copier !!!
YYEEAAAHHH !!! It's RattleHead's favorite copier: RattleCopy PRO 4.0
Still the fastest copier on AMIGA, here are the facts:
Verify Verify
Read Write Write Copy Copy
RattleCopy: 35 34 69 69 106
X-Copy 3.4: 47 58 100 70 106
Time in seconds, all tests done on the same disks.
Just some reasons to throw X-Copy out of your window:
- RattleMode, a BitMap-copier for no-dos disks, saves lots of time !
- RattleCopy is the ONLY copier that can load a complete disk in
memory on 1MEG Amiga's, and it's done in 35 seconds !!!
No copier beats this... HAHAHA !!!
- Each destination has its own errormap.
- Damaged tracks select.
- Auto Source/Destination selection.
Read the manual for more info !
New things since the last RattleCopy update:
- Exit, KillSys, improved memory allocation.
You don't have to loose your system anymore when you have
enough memory, I think 1.5 megs is enough...
If you haven't you need to use KillSys if you want to
use the Read/Write options.
- Damaged tracks select.
Very handy, it selects all tracks that gave read or verify
errors so you can retry to copy them.
- New graphics.
Drawn by Martin Baumann/Gator Grafix (AFL).
Thanks pal !
- SpaceBar copy select
Another handy option, throw your mouse in the corner when
you have a mega copyjob, just hit the spacebar to start
a copy...
- Full NTSC and 68010/20/30 compatible.
Thanks to a local 68030 freak (Jaap) in my city I could make
it work good on other processors.
Because of my new Agnuschip I could test how it works on NTSC,
some bugs are removed like weird gadgetselection and a faster
clock.
- 1 copy-bug removed.
I hope it's the last one, some people got sometimes strange
errors when they did a multi-destination copy.
Not just 1 track but 20 in a row !!!
(That's not a bug but a BUG !)
Reason: Bad trackstep routine, now improved.
I think this must be the last one, I get a lot of mail
about RattleCopy also with info about bugs so I can remove
them, thanks to all guys who wrote me !!!
Some info about older bugs:
Version 3.0 A bug made sometimes an error on a
multi-destination non-verify write.
(Can you follow that ?)
But not on all computers.
Reason: Track write timing to tight, some drives need
some time after ending their write-operation.
Version 1.0 A bug made read/write errors on track 79
on 1.3 amigas.
Reason: The UserStack wasn't placed right.
