- They *aren't* copy-protected, and you shouldn't be having any trouble
- making copies. AmigaDos Error Code 212 is "Object not of required type",
- which is usually a sign that you're not using the command correctly.
-
- I have no idea how experienced you are, so let me ask: are you inserting
- a freshly-formatted disk into df1:, your original Miracle disk into df0:,
- and either dragging your Miracle disk icon over onto the df1: disk icon
- (WorkBench) or from the CLI typing "diskcopy df0: to df1:"?
-
- If you *are* doing this and are still having problems, your Miracle disk
- must be corrupt.
