[Coco] CoCo Disk preservation...

[Steve Ostrom]

It was called Copy II PC.  It was an IBM PC internal card and accompanying software.  I was able to backup my precious copy of Marty’s Nightmare.  I needed to try a lot of different software switches to find the one that worked, and was able to make 3 usable backups.  I saved that old IBM PC only because of that card.  It’s somewhere around here.

Are you thinking of the cat-weasel Allen?. I know of it from my Amiga 
days, but never saw one.  Too many sheckels for me.

I ended up buying a cat weasel, but it’s still in the box.  There was another PC card I bought ages ago that did a good job of making backups of copyrighted Coco disks on an old IBM PC with floppy drives.  Can’t think of the name of that one.
