Summary: Disk Copy 6.1 is used for duplication of Sony 3.5" floppy disks from disk images, creating arbitrary sized (up to 2GB) disk images from volumes and folders, and creating read-write, read-only, and read-only compressed disk images. Images in any format can be mounted and directly accessed. Decompression is done on the fly. Additionally, Disk Copy 6.1 allows for the automation of mounting a series of images, then launching an application from one of those images.
Features: Disk Copy lets you quickly duplicate non-copy-protected floppy disks. The source disk can be either a floppy disk or an "image file" containing the contents of a floppy disk. It also does data check summing of the master disk in order to assure a reliable duplication. Disk Copy 6.1 recognizes the original Disk Copy 4.2 image format, and implements a new disk image format, NDIF. These images can be created read-write, read-only, and read-only compressed, and converted between the various formats. Disk Copy also can create a disk image file from a mounted volume or folder. Disk Copy 6.1 is scriptable, recordable, attachable, and supports DigiSign™ if installed, and the text to speech manager if installed.
Items to be aware of when using this alpha:
-Trying to mount/checksum/verify signatures with the DigiSign™ extension custom installed from PowerTalk on a Power PC will crash. The workaround is to disable DigiSign™, or install the full PowerTalk client package.
-Imaging some folders may fail with a -34 error. Solution is to force a larger image size than is calculated.
-Images should not be smaller than 400.5K
-The progress window does not move, and the cancel button does not work. Typing command-period or pressing the escape will cancel the operation
-The Log window does not resize.
-If you launch the application from a mounted image, you will receive a dialog stating that the application should not be launched from a mounted image, but after dismissing the dialog the application will continue to run. You should quit the application and copy it to a physical volume.
