2) When completed, load the BASIC file < COPIER TEMPLATE > (from
your work disk directory) and LIST it out.
3) Lines 10 and 20 are reserved for standard tracks. Lines 30 and
40 are for RapidLok tracks. Simply type each track number,
seperated by commas, on the appropriate lines. To end the
sequence, type a 0 (zero). See the example below:
10 DATA 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,18,31,32,33
20 DATA 34,35,0
30 DATA 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,20
40 DATA 21,22,23,24,24,26,27,28,29,30,0
This is an example of copying standard tracks 1-9, 18, 31-35, and
RapidLoked tracks 10-17, and 19-30. Notice the zeros ending the
sequences in each copier type. Do not end a line with a comma,
or forget to place information on EACH data line. This WILL
cause the copiers to stall.
4) Line 50 contains the title information. You may type any title
you wish instead of PARAMETER TITLE. Adjust the quotes to suit
the length of the title.
5) Line 60 must contain the proper version number of RapidLok
copier to use. Type the correct number in the quotes following
the RLV. Be sure to press RETURN to lock in all changes made.
6) When these steps are done, list the parameter out again and
double check the changes. If all is well, you may save the file
to your work disk. Name it appropriately as it is a custom
copier for your title.
To use your custom copier, simply load and run it. The screen
will prompt you for disk swaps. When the procedure is done, power
down and up again and try your copy. It should run just as the
original did. If not, double check your parameter for possible
errors.
In conclusion:
We've found NO RapidLok'ed titles we couldn't back-up. We HAVE
had to try a different drive on occassion. Some drives just don't
like writing some titles. 1571 drives seem to be extremely
effective copiers using this system, but most 1541 drives will work
fine. Also, we have had to copy a title or two a bit differently
than normal. The tracks had to be copied in an out of order
sequence.
