The FTA made a speed copy program for the IIGS called Photonix.  Version
1 worked only on a ROM 01 IIGS, but version 2 worked on both ROM 01
and ROM 3 units.  It'll copy a disk in one pass.  Now obviously, you need
at least 1MB to copy an 800k disk in one pass.  Like all FTA software, it
plays music and displays flashy graphics as it runs.

With Photonix, copying a disk on a one drive IIGS is faster than copying it
on a PC with one 3.5" drive.
