- "COPY" This gadget starts the copy.
- It can show 3 lines:
- COPY will start a disk-to-disk copy AND copies the data
- in RAM.
- If you have a memory-expansion:
- READ reads the complete source-disk in RAM without
- crunching.
- WRITE writes the data in RAM to the destination-disks.
- Here are some times:
- Src Dst Verify
- 1 1 2 3 4 Off On
- * 0:35 0:35
- * * 1:09 1:45
- * * * 1:09 2:23

- MODE: This gadget selects the copy-type:
- USED will copy used tracks, and formats empty tracks.
- When the copy starts, RattleCopy will search for a RattleMap.
- This is an alternative BitMap that RattleCopy saves in the
- gap of track 0 after a RattleCopy.
- When it has found the map, it copies the used tracks.
- When it didn't find the map, it scannes the disk and copies
- the used tracks.
- Not-used tracks are recognized when they are filled with
- zero's, "DOS", "[X]COPY", or other kinds of fill-up data.
- BAM copies the tracks allocated in the BitMap and
- formats the other tracks.
- If the source-disk is not a DOS disk, RattleCopy jumps automaticly
- to "USED".
- RANGE will copy all tracks from start-position till
- end-position.
-
- VERIFY This selects if the copied tracks will be verified.
-
- FORMAT This gadget selects the format-type:
- OFF will skip the tracks.
- FAST formats without verify.
- VERIFY formats with verify.
- The tracks will be filled with zeros.
-
- "TIME" This is the clock, it shows the time that you're using
- RattleCopy and how long a copy takes. (Switch between times
- by clicking it.)
-
- "MESSAGE" This is the information-gadget, errors or other important
- things will be reported here.
-
- "START" This is the start track and head for the copy.
-
- "END" This is the end track and head for the copy.
-
- "POS" This is the track and head position under the pointer.
-
- ALL This sets the standard range.
- An AmigaDOS copy skips track 80-85.
-
- SRC: This is the source-drive, a source-disk will be recognized
- if the write-protection is on.
-
- DST: These are the destination-drives, a destination-disk will be
- recognized when the write-protection is off.
-
- "TRACKMAP" Here you can set the range: Place the pointer on the
- wanted start-track, press left-button AND hold it down, place
- the pointer on the wanted end-track and free the left-button.
