[Coco] Backup of HDB-DOS drives

[Boisy Pitre]

Steve,

I honestly don't remember this program.  I thought you wrote something like this.

Basically you set the parameters to SCSI 0, Drive 0, Track 0, sector 1, Load that sector into memory, set the parameters to SCSI 1, save.  Increase sector number and repeat.  Keep looping until you have copied the entire SCSI drive.  My assembly program does almost the exact same thing except that it doesn't need line interpreation for each loop.  Boisy's program is much more flexible in that it allows different sized backups.  Mine is set for 256 drives only.  Both backup programs should handle OS9 or BASIC programs just fine.

Please send me your address and I'll mail you a copy on 5 1/4" diskette.  I may need to bring the Coco setup home in order to make the copy because of the cold.
