- HARDWARE - EXPANSION: CYCLONE V - THE XCOPY TWIN SYSTEM
- CYCLONE V - XCOPY'S TWIN SYSTEM is a coproduction of ANGUILLA SOFTWARE
- INTERNATIONAL and RICHARD APLIN. The exclusive distributor is CACHET.
- Claus Peter Lippert of CACHET also has power of attorney to act on be-
- half of ASI.
-
-
- The hardware and the software to control it have been developed by
- Richard Aplin, Alf Maier, Chris Allen, Claus Lippert & Eric Reinhart.
-
-
- The reason we developed this hardware was to enable people who spend a lot
- of money on ORIGINALS to back up the programs they buy.
- When you use our CYCLONE V to create a backup of your ORIGINAL, you will
- find, that in most cases you cannot copy the BACKUP disk any further. The
- reason is, that we only support to back up originals. Also you will find,
- that the BACKUP is still copy protected. This is, because we do not want
- to support software piracy in any way. Finally you have to accept, that
- because of technical reasons, you must only use new disks as backup-disks,
- or WIPE old disks (using XCOPY or CYCLONE) before using them.
- We could have changed most of the above, but we like it the way it is. The
- reason is, it does not effect somebody, who just wants to back up his own
- ORIGINAL, but it makes life harder for software pirates.
-
-
- SOFTWARE PIRACY IS A CRIME AND HURTS THE SOFTWARE COMPANIES
- AS WELL AS IT HURTS YOU AND ME, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT A LOT
- OF COMPANIES HAVE TO STOP DEVELOPING GOOD SOFTWARE, BECAUSE
- IT DOES NOT PAY OFF.
-
-
- Anyway, you must only use this hardware as and if the law in
- your country allows you to use it.
-
-
- MANUAL:
-
- IMPORTANT:
- THE NEW HARDWARE IS AUTOSWITCHABLE. PLUG IT IN ONCE AND YOU CAN LEAVE
- IT PLUGGED IN ALL THE TIME. CYCLONE WILL DETECT THE NEW HARDWARE AND
- SWITCH IT ON AND OFF. THIS SHOULD MAKE THE USE OF IT MUCH EASIER.
- THEREFORE YOU CAN START AT STEP 7. IN THE MANUAL BELOW - YOU CAN ENTER
- AND LEAVE CYCLONE FROM/TO WORKBENCH AT ANY TIME NOW.
-
-
- You start the program which runs the software per ICON. To do this
- you have to follow our instructions carefully.
- 1. Switch off your Amiga and wait a few seconds (approx. 20 sec.).
- 2. Disconnect all external drives.
- 3. Plug in the hardware in the port, where you usually plug in your
- external drives.
- 4. Plug the external drive which you want to use as the target drive into
- the hardware. Do not connect more than one external drive (OLD HARDWARE
- ONLZ). To run CYCLONE V on the A2000 also requires an EXTERNAL disk drive.
- 5. Switch on your Amiga.
- 6. Boot Kickstart (only Amiga 1000).
- 7. Insert CYCLONE V disk in any drive.
- 8. Select CYCLONE.
- 9. When CYCLONE V appears on the screen, take the CYCLONE V - disk out
- of the internal drive. Read the message at the bottom of the screen.
- If you use an A2000 press S to switch to DF0: DF2:.
- 10. Select the nibble mode you want to choose with the space bar. If
- you back up a DOS DISK you can press V for VERIFY (NEW HARDWARE ONLY).
- 11. Put the new unformatted target disk in the external drive.
- 12. Put the ORIGINAL, which you want to back up in the internal drive.
- Make sure, the write-protect is set on the original.
- 13. Use the cursor keys to set start- and endtrack.
- 14. After having finished all the above, now press return.
- CYCLONE V will now commence the backup process.
- 15. When the BACKUP is done, please take the ORIGINAL and the BACKUP out
- of the drives. In case you have to back up more than one ORIGINAL repeat
- the steps 11 - 15 until you are done.
- 16. Switch off your Amiga
- 17. Unplug the hardware.
-
-
- Some hints and things you should keep in mind:
- THE COLORED DOTS: press HELP and SPACE BAR for explanation. Then ESC.
- Target disks: NEW, UNFORMATTED or WIPED
- UNPLUG hardware after using it, but switch off Amiga first!
- (ONLY IF YOU STILL USE THE OLD HARDWARE WHICH IS NOT AUTOSWITCHABLE)
- Source-drive is always the internal drive
- Tagret drive is always the external drive (also with A2000!)
- Before using the hardware, do a speed test at your drives. The closer
- the speed of both drives is, the better the hardware works.
- APWM & APWM NIBBLE should only be used for single tracks.
- If you use XCOPY NIBBLE for the complete disk first and then APWM for
- single tracks, you will be more sucessfull.
- If you have any further questions, please give us a call, before using
- the hardware. There may be technical reasons, which disable your system
- to run the hardware properly.
- We hope that our program works to your satisfaction and kindly
- ask you to send us your registration card.
