I don't know what you mean by 'nibblers', but the CoCo SDC does work with
most copy-protected software including Z-89. In fact, I'm not aware of any
copy-protected software that won't work, but I haven't tested everything.

The trick is to construct a working image in the SDF format. There is a
page on the blog site that discusses image formats in more detail. There is
also a link to download a program that will convert DMK images to the SDF
format.
