Do you mean the bitcopy? It needs time analyzing each track data (if I
understood your question properly) and probably does few revolutions
of read attempts to sync.

I personally don't understand why the brilliant Locksmith author(s)
preferred to stay in the shadows, maybe they feared something back
then. But today, only appraisals are left. :-)
I'd definitely want to get in touch with them and buy them drinks
(note: they can contact me in private email). :-)

There was even Locksmith for the IBM PC and I've fiddled with it, but
it was nowhere near the Apple II. Could even be a product of another
company/authors, can't remember any details.
