I have several disks of original software that I am trying to back up,
including a dealer demo original of Archon and a multi-disk set of
Talking Text Writer. All are the original factory-produced disks with
original factory labels. Neither of these programs seem to copy to
image format with ADTPro. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing
wrong? I'd like to figure out what I need to do before these disks
disintegrate forever!
So you want to make images of these for emulation, right?
Unfortunately Archon is tricky: you'll still need to partially crack
it to get it to run under emulation. Or perhaps I can help you with
that part. Is there something different about this ("dealer demo")
copy?
You'd need to use SST:

(Steps 10 on can be accomplished more easily using Ciderpress.)
Then if you want to crack it yourself the info is here:

(NB: This might or might not apply to your version of Archon.)
The same goes for TTW. You can search the index here:
