My Passport Designs card came with the software called "MIDI/8 plus
" and does all that you want.  I tried to make a .dsk file but tracks
3 and 16 are uncopiable.  Although the files do show up with a
catalog.  I tried recreating the the image file on a blank disk but
the disk is still unbootable or more acurately, it boots to a certain
stage and then just beeps.

I will try Copy II plus bit copy method later, then maybe we can talk
about good old regular mail.
