[Coco] Copying over an IO ERROR

[Bill]

Well, unfortunately, I'm NOT a programmer, so that is out of the question.

Thanks

There were a few programs like Spit 'N Image designed to copy copy-protected disks that will do a track-to-track straight reproduction of the disk, if you actually want to preserve the IO errors.  It is relatively easy to write a Basic program that will copy sector by sector and omit tracks that give an IO error, if that's what you want.  You can do it either with DSKI$ and DSKO$, or by EXECing DSCON after loading its parameters at $00EA-00F0.
