         What is Copier?
         ---------------
     Copier is a program for making multiple copies of a disc. It is not 
     intended to copy discs which are copy protected, nor as a replacement 
     for the normal Archimedes 'Backup' to make a copy of a single disc. It 
     is intended for clubs or other organisations where many copies of a 
     subscription disc or circular need to be made but where the cost of an 
     expensive bulk disc copier is not justified. What Copier will do is to 
     save a great deal of time and a lot of disc swapping if you want 
     several (or several dozen) copies.


         How it works
         ------------
     Copier works by taking a complete copy of the master disc as a 'disc 
     image'. This can then be transferred to another disc to create a 
     perfect copy of the original. This is actually what 'Backup' does but 
     the advantage of Copier is that it doesn't 'throw away' the disc image 
     after the copy has been made. The image is kept in memory so you can 
     make as many copies as you need without swapping discs and reloading 
     the original each time as you would need to do with Backup.

     The disadvantage is that you must have enough free memory to hold the 
     disc image. Unlike Backup Copier can't copy a disc in two 'bites'. In 
     practice this means you must have at least 2Mb to copy 800K discs and 
     it is best to have 4Mb if you want to copy 1.6Mb discs. It is just 
     possible to copy 1.6Mb discs on a 2Mb machine if you make sure no 
     other applications are running and all unwanted modules are 'killed'.
         

         Formatting
         ----------
     The other advantage with Copier is that you don't need to format discs 
     first! Copier can format discs before copying, and it can format them 
     faster than the normal Archimedes routine. The cycle of formatting, 
     copying and verifying (yes, it does that too!) can take less than half 
     the time required for each disc compared with the 'normal' method.


         Types of disc
         -------------
     Copier will work with 640K and 800K ADFS and 720K DOS discs. It will 
     also work with 1.6Mb ADFS and 1.44Mb DOS if you have a machine with 
     the required hardware. At present this means an A5000, A3010 or A3020.

         Getting Started
         ---------------
     To load Copier double-click on the program icon in the usual way and 
     it will install itself on the icon bar. At this stage you will see the 
     word 'None' under the icon. Click 'Menu' (the middle mouse button) on 
     the Copier icon the and main menu will appear, which looks like this -


                       ----------
                      | Read     |
                      | Write    |
                      | Options  |
                      | Clear    |
                      | Info     |
                      |----------
                      | Quit     |
                       ----------


     At first 'Write' will be shaded as this isn't active until you have 
     loaded a disc image.


         A short demonstration
         ---------------------
     Click MENU on the Copier icon to display the menu and select the top 
     item (Read). The Read Window will open in the centre of the screen. 
     Put an 800K floppy disc with some files on it in drive :0 and click on 
     'Read Disc' in this window. The drive will start up, the disc name 
     will appear in the window and the disc image will be read. When this 
     has been done the Read Window will close and you will see the word 
     'None' under the icon has changed to '800K' to tell you that an 800K 
     ADFS disc image is loaded.

     Bring up the main menu again and click on 'Options' to open the 
     Options Window. This consists of lots of icons to set all the various 
     options On or Off. It is described fully later but for the present 
     just set the following items. In the 'Format' box set 'Always' to 
     'On'. In the 'Background' box set all items to 'Off'. In the 'Verify' 
     box set 'Always' to 'On'. When this is done you can close the window.

     Go back to the Menu and you will find 'Write' is no longer shaded. 
     Click on 'Write' and the Write Window will appear. Put an unformatted 
     1Mb disc in drive :0 and click on 'Write Disc' which is the large 
     'button' in the centre of the window. If you don't have a spare 
     unformatted disc use any spare disc of the correct type, even if it 
     has been formatted differently. You will see the word 'Waiting' at the 
     bottom of the Write Window change to 'Formatting', the disc drive will 
     start up and the disc will be formatted to 800K. During this the mouse 
     pointer will change to an Hourglass and the word 'All' will appear in 
     the box after 'Formatting'. This is because we have set the 
     'Background' options to 'Off'. More about this later.

                                                                 Page 3  


     As soon as the disc has been formatted (assuming this was successful) 
     the word 'Formatting' will change to 'Copying' and the disc image will 
     be copied to the disc. Once this operation is complete there will be a 
     further change to 'Verifying'. If the disc is verified without errors 
     then when this has been done it will change back to 'Waiting' ready 
     for the next operation and the mouse pointer will return to normal.


         Counting Copies
         ---------------
     If you look at the Write Window after copying the disc you will see 
     that the 'Copies' box now contains the figure '1' to tell you that you 
     have successfully made one copy. If the disc had failed to verify then 
     it would have been counted in the 'Faulty' box.

     There are two reasons for counting discs in this way. Most obviously 
     it saves you the trouble of keeping count manually. The secondary 
     purpose is that counting good and faulty discs separately allows you 
     to check that you haven't accidentally put a faulty disc on to the 
     'good' pile when making a lot of copies, which is very easy to do. 
     When you have made the number of copies you require it is simple to 
     check that the number of discs in the 'bad' pile is the same as the 
     number of faulty copies shown, if not you have mixed a bad disc in 
     with the good ones!  Most of the time this will be zero but Copier is 
     deliberately more fussy about the quality of discs it passes than the 
     normal Verify routine so you may get the occasional reject. Quite 
     often these will then reformat and verify successfully and Copier can 
     in fact carry out this operation automatically to minimise rejects.


         Repeat copies
         -------------
     It should now be fairly obvious that to make more copies you just 
     insert another blank disc in drive 0 and click on 'Write Disc' in the 
     Write Window again, repeating the operation as many times as required. 
     If you want to close the window between making copies you can do so 
     and then reopen it. In fact once a disc image has been loaded clicking 
     'Select' (the left mouse button) on the Copier icon will open the 
     Write Window to save you the trouble of selecting it from the Menu.

     In fact Copier has an even simpler way to make a number of copies and 
     this will be described later under 'Auto copying'.


         Clearing an Image
         -----------------
     Copier takes only 48K of RAM for itself but it needs a lot more when 
     holding a disc image in memory. If you have finished copying a 
     particular disc but haven't yet finished with Copier and so don't want 
     to Quit you can force Copier to 'unload' a disc image and give back 
     this RAM. Just click on 'Clear' on the Menu and Copier will revert to 
     its 'Waiting' state taking only 48K

                                                                 Page 4  



         Read and Write drives
         ---------------------
     Most Archimedes owners probably have only a single floppy disc drive. 
     However if you do have more than one you can select the source and 
     destination drives for the copy operation. You will see the drive 
     number shown in the Read and Write windows. Just click on the arrows 
     beside this to change it. Naturally if you don't have more than one 
     drive this won't work.


         Background operation
         --------------------
     The Reading, Writing, Formatting and Verifying operations can all be 
     carried out as multi tasking background operations if required. This 
     enables you to do other things on the desktop while copying discs if 
     you wish. The disadvantage of this is that because of the need to poll 
     the Wimp and let other programs have a chance to operate everything 
     will take longer. In fact a complete Format/Copy/Verify operation will 
     take nearly 50% longer compared with the time taken if the operations 
     are not multi-tasking. Also because many of the operations take a 
     certain amount of time, for example formatting a disc track, there 
     will be a noticeable delay when carrying out other tasks and desktop 
     operation may become a bit 'jerky'. However you may prefer this to 
     losing control of the computer completely for a couple of minutes 
     while a disc is being copied.

     Because of this each operation can be separately defined as multi 
     tasking or not. This enables you to choose your own compromise between 
     speed of operation and the amount of time you will lose control of the 
     computer.

     As shown in the earlier demonstration when background operations are 
     switched off the mouse pointer changes to an Hourglass while an 
     operation is being carried out and the 'progress' box in the Read or 
     Write window says 'All'. When you have chosen that an operation is to 
     be carried out as a background task the mouse pointer will not change 
     and you will see the disc tracks being counted in the 'progress' box 
     if the appropriate window is open.

     You can mix background and non background operations if you wish, 
     Copier will switch between modes as required. You can even open the 
     Options Window and change mode while Copier is working, although the 
     new method of operation will not take effect until the next time the 
     operation is carried out.


         Pausing
         -------
     You will see that there is a button marked 'Pause' to the left of the 
     Write Disc button in the Write Window. If you click on this during a 
     background operation then the operation will be temporarily halted 
     until you click on the Pause button again, when it will continue 
     exactly where it stopped. During this the legend under the Copier icon 
     will change to 'Pause' to remind you of what is happening.
                                                                 Page 5  


         Auto copying
         ------------
     Auto copying is a way of making a predetermined number of copies 
     without needing to repeatedly check the number completed. Above the 
     Write Disc button you will see a writeable icon marked 'Number of 
     Copies' in which you can enter the quantity you require. For example, 
     if you need twenty copies click on this box to make the caret appear 
     there and enter the number 20. As soon as you have done this and 
     pressed RETURN copying will commence. Alternatively you can click on 
     the 'Auto' icon instead of pressing RETURN

     Unlike 'normal' copying as soon as this is done the Write Window will 
     close. As before operations can be carried out either as background or 
     foreground tasks. As the Write Window remains closed progress can't be 
     displayed so to remind you that Copier is working the legend under the 
     icon will change to 'Auto'. If you wish to have a visual display of 
     progress you can, of course, simply re-open the Write Window.

     As soon as the disc has been copied the computer will 'beep'. What 
     happens now depends upon whether you are using RISC-OS 2 or RISC-OS 3 
     and whether you have selected 'Confirm Write' in the Options Window.

     If you have RISC-OS 2 or have selected 'Confirm Write' as soon as a 
     copy is completed the Write Window will reopen. To make the next copy 
     insert another disc and click on 'Auto'. Unlike clicking on 'Write 
     Disc' you will not be asked for confirmation, even if you have 
     selected this in the Options Window.

     If you are using RISC-OS 3 and have not selected 'Confirm Write' the 
     Write Window will not re-open. Instead the Copier icon will change to  
     illustrate putting a new disc into the drive. You don't need to do 
     anything except remove the completed disc and insert a new one. Copier 
     will detect you have changed discs and begin making the next copy.

     You may not always want the program to start up straight away when you 
     insert a new disc so if you click on the icon to open the Write Window 
     at this point you can select 'Pause'. The main difference between 
     using Pause at this point and any other is that to re-start you should 
     click on 'Auto' instead of 'Pause' again.

     The disc change detection works with any computer using RISC-OS 3 but 
     the method used on older models is somewhat crude. If you have an 
     older model you may prefer to set Confirm On when using auto copy.

     Note that the operation of 'Confirm Write' is different depending upon 
     whether you are using normal or auto copying. With auto copying 
     Confirm simply means that you will need to click on 'Auto' before a 
     disc is copied, with normal copying you will have to confirm 
     separately after you have clicked on 'Write Disc'. Using RISC-OS 2 
     Confirm has no function during auto copying as you always need to 
     click on 'Auto' to make the next copy..

     If a disc fails to verify correctly after copying and the Write Window 
     is closed then an Error message will be displayed to make sure that 
     you have realised that the disc is faulty.
                                                                 Page 6  


         Number of copies
         ----------------
     This cycle of operations will continue until you have made the number 
     of copies previously entered in the Write Window. In fact you can 
     change this if you wish, even after copying has begun, so if you 
     decide you need a couple of extra's you can alter the required number.

     When the last copy has been made the Write Window will not appear 
     again, just a message to tell you that the required number of copies 
     has been made. However if you do want more you can either open it from 
     the Menu and increase the number or simply click on 'Write Disc'. When 
     in Auto copying mode clicking SELECT on the Copier icon will always 
     open the Write Window so you can watch progress if you choose.

     WARNING - Don't forget that when Auto copying using RISC-OS 3 and 
     without requiring confirmation before each copy is made Copier will 
     start operations AS SOON AS A NEW DISC IS INSERTED. If you don't 
     intend this to happen use Pause until you are ready to continue.


         Differences between Auto and Normal copying
         -------------------------------------------
     At first it might seem that the only real difference is that with Auto 
     copying you enter the number of copies required first and if you have  
     RISC-OS 3  you don't need to click on anything as you insert each new 
     disc. Although these are the most obvious differences and copies are 
     made in the same way the two methods are intended to be used for 
     slightly different purposes.

     Normal mode is designed to be used when the main task you are carrying 
     out is copying discs. If you are not carrying out any of the 
     operations in the background it will copy at the highest possible 
     speed. As you are required to click on the icon to start each new 
     cycle you can use this 'break' to carry out other tasks.

     Auto mode is designed to be used when copying discs is the secondary 
     task. For this reason the window is removed as soon as possible. You 
     will only be prompted when you are required to change discs or if an 
     error occurs. If you wish to carry out a task and don't want the delay 
     caused by the background copying operations to occur you can click on 
     the Copier icon to open the Write Window and then use 'Pause' to halt 
     the operation until you are ready for it to continue. Used in this way 
     you can copy discs with the minimum of interference with your main 
     task and the minimum of action on the part of the operator.

                   -=-=- SAVING and LOADING DISC IMAGES -=-=-
                                        
         How it Works
         ------------
     So far we have seen how Copier can make multiple copies of a disc but 
     the 'master' has been a normal floppy disc. Sometimes you may have a 
     disc which you repeatedly need to copy, but you don't want to make the 
     copies all at once. Copier can save the complete disc image of the 
     master disc as a disc file on your hard disc from where it can be 
     reloaded very quickly when needed. Obviously you will need a hard disc 
     to make use of this because not only is it not possible to fit a disc 
     image on to a disc of the same size there is no advantage when 
     reloading it over using the Read Disc method.


         Saving the Image
         ----------------
     You will notice that 'Write' on the Menu has an arrow which leads to a 
     'Save' window. In this window is a box containing the disc name. You 
     can change this before saving the disc image if you wish but it will 
     NOT change the actual name of the disc, just the name that your disc 
     image is saved under.

     To save the image just drag the little disc icon in this box to a 
     directory viewer in the usual way.

     The disc images are 'normal' continuous files and cannot be used 
     except for reloading into Copier and transferring back to a floppy 
     disc. If you do lose the master disc and want to gain access to the 
     contents of a disc image you will first need to use Copier to create a 
     floppy disc and then you will be able to access the files from this.


         Reloading an Image
         ------------------
     To reload an image double-click on it's icon. It will automatically be 
     loaded into Copier. You can also start up Copier with an image loaded 
     by double-clicking on an image icon instead of the !Copier application 
     icon, but the Filer must have 'seen' the !Copier application first for 
     this to work.

     Each type of disc has its own filetype and icon. The icons are similar 
     but each type of disc is a different colour and has its size shown 
     upon it. The filetype numbers given are in the area allocated by Acorn 
     for Public Domain applications so the possibility of a clash does 
     exist, but so far as I am aware no PD program in general circulation 
     uses these types. For those interested they are -

                      1.6Mb     ADFS        &160
                      800K      ADFS        &180
                      640K      ADFS        &164
                      1.44Mb    DOS         &144
                      720K      DOS         &172

     The logic of these numbers should be obvious.

     Because Copier had been designed to be as versatile as possible most 
     of its functions are user-configurable. You can therefore make Copier 
     work the way you want it to.


         The Options window
         ------------------
     You gain access to this window by clicking on 'Options' on the Menu. 
     The window is divided into five areas titled Confirm, Format, Verify, 
     Background and Options.


         Confirm
         -------
     This selects which operations Copier will not carry out without 
     confirmation from the operator.

     'Read' will ask for confirmation before loading a disc image if one is 
     already loaded.

     'Write' will require confirmation before any Write operation is 
     carried out. Note that if you are using Auto copying then this option 
     will merely require you to click on 'Auto' before a copy is made and 
     no separate confirmation will be required.

     'Clear' will require you to confirm before it clears a disc image from 
     memory when you select 'Clear' from the Menu.

     'Reformat' will require you to confirm before Copier reformats a disc 
     if you have selected any of the 'Reformat' options except 'Always'


         Format
         ------
     This defines under what circumstances Copier will format a disc. All 
     options except 'Always' will ask for confirmation before formatting if 
     'Reformat' is selected in the 'Confirm' section.

     'Always' will always format a disc without prompting before attempting 
     a copy operation.

     'Wrong Type' will format a disc if it is formatted but to the wrong 
     type, eg. if you are copying an 800K disc and you insert a disc 
     formatted to 640K or 720K. Note that if you are using RISC-OS 2 then a 
     disc formatted to 720K DOS may appear unformatted.

     'Unformatted' will only format a disc if it is not already formatted.

     'After Error' will reformat any disc which fails to verify after 
     copying. This operation will only be carried out once, if the disc  
     fails to format and verify without error it will be counted as faulty.

                                                                 Page 9  



         Verify
         ------
     This defines when a disc will be verified after copying.

     'Always' means that it will always be verified

     'After Format' means that it will only be verified after a Format 
     operation has been carried out. This would normally only be used if 
     you have chosen to format discs which were unformatted or formatted to 
     the wrong type to check that they have been successfully formatted 
     without error.


         Background
         ----------
     This defines which of the four disc operations, Read, Write, Format 
     and Verify, will be carried out as background tasks.


         Saving and Restoring
         --------------------
     The settings of the Options window can be saved and restored by these 
     two buttons. 

     'Save' will save the current settings in the Options window and the 
     'Read' and 'Write' drives selected. These will be saved as a file 
     called 'Options' in the !Copier application directory.

     When Copier is started it will look for this file and if it is present 
     it will load it and set all the options according to your preferences.

     'Restore' is used if you have changed some of the options and wish to 
     restore you chosen default settings. It does this by loading the 
     previously save file from the !Copier application directory so you 
     must have Saved the options first and you will need to have the disc 
     with your !Copier application in the drive.

                                                                 Page 10

         Partly filled discs
         -------------------
     Copier always copies the entire disc. Backup will only copy that part 
     of the disc which is occupied by data. This means that if a disc is 
     less than about one third filled Backup might be faster. In practice 
     this situation is not likely to arise because discs that are 
     distributed in 'bulk' would normally be full, or nearly so, and even a 
     half filled disc would be copied faster with Copier than using Backup.


         Formatting
         ----------
     The formatting method used by Copier does not write any 'structure' to 
     the disc, it merely lays out tracks and sectors. This saves time and 
     it is unnecessary because all the required information is contained in 
     the disc image which will be copied onto the disc. If a disc has been 
     formatted by Copier but for some reason no disc image was subsequently 
     copied onto it it will not be recognised by the Archimedes filing 
     system and will return a 'disc not formatted' error.

     Discs are not verified as they are formatted. Once again this would be 
     a waste of time because it is better to verify discs after the data 
     has been copied onto them to ensure that the finished product is error 
     free. If discs were verified during formatting they would still need 
     to be tested again after copying to be certain there were no errors.


         DOS discs
         ---------
     The format used for DOS discs is slightly different from the usual 
     method used by the Archimedes. A wider sector gap is used with no 
     sector interleave and a track to track sector skew introduced. It was 
     found that discs formatted in this way operate faster than the 
     standard format. There is a noticeable speed increase both on real 
     PC's and an Archimedes using a PC emulator. In fact some modern PC's 
     fitted with high density drives also format discs this way.  

     It is possible that older XT type PC's fitted with 720K disc drives 
     might operate more slowly with this type of format but it is felt that 
     the speed advantage gained for the majority of users more than 
     outweighs this. Whatever drive or controller the computer is fitted 
     with the modified format does not introduce any compatibility 
     problems. All models will have no difficulty in reading the disc.


         640K ADFS discs
         ---------------
     As it is unlikely that anyone is using this format on an actual 
     Archimedes the factors chosen were selected for optimum speed on a BBC 
     computer. Tests were carried out on a Model 'B' fitted with TEAC T55-F 
     drives and Solidisc ADFS and a Master with Acorn ADFS and Mitsubishi 
     drives. There are many other possible combinations which could be 
     encountered but these are fairly typical.
                                                                 Page 11  


         DOS and RISC-OS 2
         -----------------
     Although Copier will work with 720K DOS format discs using RISC-OS 2 
     there are certain problems. The ability to read and write to DOS discs 
     is not built in to RISC-OS 2 so it is necessary to use special 
     techniques to handle them. This makes the operation slower than ADFS 
     discs. However it will still be faster than using the PC emulator or 
     most other software. This is one instance when it is quicker to use 
     Copier to make a single copy because RISC-OS 2 cannot format or copy 
     DOS discs without additional software. You can actually use Copier as 
     a DOS disc formatter for RISC-OS 2 by 'copying' a blank DOS disc. This 
     is a lot faster than formatting a disc using the PC Emulator.


         Software and Hardware compatibility
         -----------------------------------
     There are two main operating systems in circulation on Archimedes 
     computers, RISC-OS 2 and RISC-OS 3.1. There are also two different 
     disc controllers in use, the one fitted to the A300, A400, A3000 and 
     A540 models which can only read discs up to 800K capacity and the one 
     fitted to later models, the A5000, A3010 and A3020, which can read up 
     to 1.6Mb discs.

     In theory any computer running RiscOs 2 should have the earlier type 
     of disc controller and so should not be able to handle high density 
     discs. A computer running RISC-OS 3 could be fitted with either type 
     of controller because it could be a newer model or an older model 
     which has been upgraded.

     There are therefore three combinations that could be encountered -

                 RISC-OS 2 with 800K drive
                 RISC-OS 3 with 800K drive
                 RISC-OS 3 with 1.6Mb drive

     Although Copier can cope with all of these if you are using RISC-OS 2 
     and frequently exchange discs with other users you are strongly 
     advised to upgrade to RISC-OS 3. This is because the way that 800K 
     discs are formatted under RISC-OS 3 is slightly different to suit the 
     later type of controller. If a disc is formatted on a newer model it 
     will operate with no speed reduction on older models, but a disc 
     formatted using RISC-OS 2 is noticeably slower on newer machines.


         'D' and 'E' format discs
         ------------------------
     There is no structural difference between the two different 800K 
     formats used on the Archimedes. The only difference is in the way that 
     the catalogue and map are managed. For this reason if your master disc 
     is 'D' format then any discs reproduced will be 'D' format, even if 
     you have pre-formatted them to 'E' format, and visa versa. Copier 
     therefore makes no distinction between the two 800K formats.

     The same situation prevails using Backup. If you backup an 'E' format 
     disc to a 'D' format you find that the copy has become 'E' format.
                                                                 Page 12  


         Disc errors
         -----------
     Because Copier writes an entire disc image to a disc's surface the 
     target disc must be 100% error free. Unlike normal copying operations 
     it is not possible to 'skip over' any bad sectors. If a disc fails to 
     verify and is rejected by Copier you will probably be able to format 
     it and use it for normal purposes. Defects are not 'mapped out' during 
     formatting. If a single defect is discovered the operation is aborted.

     For the same reason the source disc should be error free. This is not 
     essential but if it has defects then Copier may refuse to load it. 
     Even if it is successfully loaded the 'defect list' will be copied to 
     the new disc so that it too will appear to have defects until it is 
     reformatted. This won't stop it functioning normally because the 
     defect will be 'mapped out' as it was on the original.


         Memory
         ------
     As I have already stated Copier needs enough spare memory to load an 
     entire disc image. It should therefore be obvious that you won't be 
     able to copy a 1.6Mb disc in a 1Mb A3010.

     If you have just 1Mb you will only be able to copy 720K discs, even 
     800K discs take too much memory. To copy even 720K discs you will need 
     to use a very frugal screen mode, so I suggest you switch to Mode 0 
     and quit ALL other tasks. The desktop won't look very pretty in Mode 0 
     but it will let the program operate.

     I expect that most people who wish to use this program will have at 
     least 2Mb. You will then be able to copy 1.6Mb discs but only if no 
     other tasks are running. Once again you may need to switch to a less 
     greedy screen mode, although you will probably not need to go to the 
     extreme of Mode 0. 800k or 720K discs should not present any problems.


         Problems
         --------
     There is only one problem that I have encountered using Copier and 
     RISC-OS 3. After a disc has been copied if you click on the icon for 
     the drive containing the new copy you may get an error message from 
     the filer 'Disc not understood - has it been formatted?'. Don't worry, 
     everything is OK, it's just that the filer is remembering what the 
     disc was when it was first put in the drive. If you click on 
     'Dismount' on the menu for that drive to make the filer 'forget' the 
     disc and then click on the drive icon again you will find the disc has 
     been correctly copied.

     A difficulty can arise if you wish to copy a DOS disc which has been 
     obtained from a source which uses a certain type of bulk copier. This 
     is because these discs are sometimes only formatted with enough tracks 
     to hold the required data. As Copier will try to load the entire disc 
     it will fail when it reaches the unformatted tracks. The solution is 
     to copy the contents of the disc to a normally formatted disc first.

                                                                 Page 13  



         Other formats
         -------------
     Although Copier has been designed to handle only 'native' Archimedes  
     and 3.5 inch DOS discs there is no reason why it could not be modified 
     to work with others. Thanks to the power of the Archimedes operating 
     system it can readily be adapted to read and write to any type of disc 
     which the hardware is capable of addressing. It would probably be 
     simple to modify it to copy Amiga, Atari, DOS 360K or BBC DFS discs 
     (given suitable drives) if required. Anyone who is forced to use an 
     Amiga or Atari ST computer to copy discs will appreciate how much 
     faster the operation could be carried out on an Archimedes!
