The parallel/8k copiers do a better job with this and should reproduce it correctly (as does nibread). : : For a software-only solution, a custom copier could be written that writes sync marks of 80 bits in length. The data block gap length could be reduced so that this fits without needing to reduce drive speed. Of course, it's easier to just crack the protection... -- [/quote]
