Wizardry had one of the nastiest @#$! copy protection schemes around.
It _could_ be copied with sync bitcopy (Tracks $11-$14 if I remember
right), but it took lots of time, fiddling and drives that were
running at the right speeds.  A real pain, because with the use the
disks got a backup copy was a must.

And, as far as I know, nobody ever bothered to learn enough pcode to
crack the thing.
