Hi
As I mentioned earlier, I have a Forth that runs standalone
on hard sectored. Since it is standalone, I've used it to
make exact copies of other disk. I've done things like changing
the interleaving to make about a 10X improvement in load
speeds for many programs.
Is it available for download, Dwight?

It has been a while since I had the machine running.
I can
fire it up and check what I have. The only issue I have for
making copies for others is the media. I only have a few
hard sectored disk. For some reason, I thought that disk
formats would last at least as long as 33 lp records. I
didn't realize at the time that media was being obsoleted
as fast as it was produced. I know better now.
Anyway, if I can get it all running, I'll make copies
if someone supplies media.
