Sorry for my English, always causing confusion.

The Lock 'N' Roll copy program is a bootable disk without protection,
it can copy protected disk (except spiral tracks, warlock or prolock).

It can be copy by any program, e.g. Locksmith Fast Copy, but seems not
very popular.

This program was quite popular in Hong Kong and Japan. I've found the
homepage (in Japanese) talk about it, but the author provide no binary
for download.

If the new disk image format confirmed, I guess we can copy the
protected disk and store them, it's over 20 years and the remaining
floppy may "die" anytime.
