Re: copying pascal disks how?

["mr. brad" <mrbrad(remove)@ll.net>]

ok...just something to keep in mind...for when i get to this stuff...

i have a version of copy 2 plus 4.3 that prob will work...someone also said
a straight copy with locksmith will work

i guess  i'll try it and send it out to the people see if they can see the
copy

is there a util disk for me to boot in order to look at a pascal disk? or
should the old ver of copy 2 plus catalog it?

just want to see if anything is actually on these disks

as far a the sider hd's that is another problem i can look at later maybe
the sider utils have something to catalog them with
