On Steve's SU4 copying saga, it sounds like Steve
had the
copy-protected, self-booting SU4, while Terry has a non-copy-protected
one. Both existed.
I have the non-copy-protected version available for download on
http://tim-mann.org/misosys.html#down, as a /cmd file that you would
have to import onto a TRSDOS or LDOS 6 disk, say with an emulator
utility. Once you import it, this is the easiest version of SU4 to
deal with.
Well, now I feel even more stupid... I never looked on that page and was
relying only on Google searches that never turned it up. I think I may
have found the problem-child DSK file on Humungous TRS-80 Archives, but I
went a lot of places looking that afternoon :-).
I also have a copy of a preliminary version of the
self-booting SU4
(from Kim Watt's personal collection). I've never seen the final
released version. My notes say that I successfully copied this version
to DMK (using a Catweasel and cw2dmk) and it worked in xtrs. My notes
also say that it was not representable as JV3. So a copy-protected SU4
that works as a jv3 but can't be copied to dmk by jv2dmk sounds like a
really odd duck. I would be interested in a copy of that jv3 to see
what it is and why jv2dmk doesn't work on it -- would also like to
know where it came from.
I'll send it to you in a separate note, Tim.
