Re: Disk Muncher

During my many years in the past - from 1981 to 1993, when I was
busy each day making duplicates  (5.25 disks ) of A2 software for
many A2 users in need of them, I always used DM1 (which was a
very special version) that was made as a collective effort by some of 
the most skilled krackers of that time.  It proved effective with copying
both copy-protected and non-copyprotected 5.25 disks with great
effeciency and speed.  I'd say it made perfect working copies of about
96% of all the A2 software titles I made copies of during that period
and era of time from 1981 to 1993.  In many cases it even did an automatic
deprotection of many very hard to copy (copy-protected) A2 titles, which
then made those copies FAST COPY abled - by any other standard 
copy/duplication A2 program.  

I uploaded it to Ground last year for the needs of all A2 users today that
might find a need for such back-ups of old A2  (5.25 disk) titles they wish
to duplicate and preserve for their needs.

the url and text file documentation for DM1 follows:

Disk Muncher v1.0 is copyrighted freeware, for duplication of 5.25 
disks.  It's a DOC 3.3 disk that should allow exact duplicate/backup
for any 5.25 disk you have, in any format; DOS3.x, CPM, Pascal,
ProDOS or any other exotic DOS known.

The archive 'DM1.sdk' is a shrinkit (.sdk) 5.25 disk archive which
unshrinks as a self booting standard DOS 3.3 disk.

If your Apple II computer model does not support 80 Col. then it
defaults to 40Col.  The disk will boot from any know Apple II
computer model (including IIgs - ROM 01 or ROM 03) or clone. Using
two 5.25 Apple II disk drives, and having 128k of memory you can do
a single disk copy with automatic ease.

This is by far, the best disk duplication version of Disk Muncher
ever released.  Note: to varify a reboot, type Y
