Using RGB-DOS I had to copy from one hard drive to floppy and then to
the other hard drive.  When I got the RAM disk it went much faster.

I wrote a program for the task; something along the lines of: For N=4 to
255: BACKUP N to 0: ((drive switch command): Backup 0 to N: (Switch
drive back): NEXT N
