True--so now the project also involves people who want to capture protected disk images getting a (presumeably newly manufactured) EDD+ board... I suppose if we continue to postulate hardware additions to both the Apple II and the PC, then just about anything is possible. ;-) Perhaps the problem should be restated as "find the least complex way of imaging and re-creating arbitrarily protected Apple II disks with as little additional hardware investment as possible." Or is this not the problem? -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
