[Coco] Disk Omni Clone...

[Bill Pierce]

Al,
I'm sure I've seen "Omni-Clone" on some of the unamed utility disks in the various archives. The disks labeld "Disk-1.dsk", "Disk-2.dsk", some "Utilities-1.dsk" and so on. There's tons of software in those hundreds of disk collections that haven't made it out to their own disks. Some are just PD disks like the T&D collection and some are user's collections they compiled to keep from having so many "one program" disks lying around and are full of commercial software. You may find PenPal in those disks as well. I know I've found a couple of things in those disks that there were no copies of in the archive.

I thought I was going crazy...

I've searched all the archives, and the Rainbow Index, and not a mention of 
Disk Omni Clone anywhere.

I remember using Omni Clone to copy tapes on my Coco. And, I remember 
selling Disk Omni Clone at Rainbowfests when I worked for Spectrum Projects.

In looking through back issues of Rainbow, I found Spectrum Projects ads 
with Disk Omni Clone in them. So, at least I'm not going crazy. I probably 
own it. I just have to find it.

I guess Rainbow never reviewed it because they didn't want to anger their 

advertisers who sold copy-protected software. I used to have a Copy ][ PC 
Option Board for my XT that copied most things. I loaned it to a friend. If 
he can find it, I'll crank it up and see if it will copy my PenPal disk. I'm 
afraid to even try to start the program until I have a backup copy.
