The best solution is for a hacker among us to hack the original code. To dupe the disk to another floppy in that case, you have to match the hole/scratch! So such disks are totally impossible to make disk images of. But disk images didn't exist in the very early days, and so Central Point never came out with that feature.Īnother consideration is that some copy protection is a physical hole or scratch on the floppy itself, which even Copy II cannot handle. Because if they could make Copy II Hard Disk copy a protected floppy's data to an Apple HD20, they surely could get it onto a disk image. Perhaps if the Central Point Software people were still in business today, they could develop a solution quickly. Copy II Mac only works to copy from floppy to floppy or from floppy to hard disk (not the same as an Image). But copy protection makes it impossible to image the disks.

I've done that for all non-protected disks. For years, I've wanted to have digital 'disk image' copies of my old 400k and 800k disks.
