OK, here's the thing. I can use emu2 to put a binary program onto a
scratch disk image I have. I need to figure out some way to relocate a
DOS 3.2 (!) RWTS somewhere and do a sector-by-sector copy by reading
with the native RWTS and writing with the relocated one...any idea how I
could do this?
A common way to do this does not involve relocation at all--you just
swap the RWTSs in memory and run them where they expected to be!
If you swap/read track/swap/write track the swap time is quite
tolerable.
