Disk Copy - Two VIC-1541 Drives
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2017 7:08 am
Good Morning Denial members,
I recently acquired a second VIC-1541 drive (hardware jumper cut to set it as device 9) and am wondering if it is possible to perform a complete disk copy from one drive to another. Or even manually copying one file at a time from one drive to the other to avoid disk swapping on a single unit.
I know this was possible on older PET dual drive units (duplicate command). And I understand this command does not apply to the 1541 units. Even the manual states this is not really a possibility. I realize there were 3rd party software applications that would do this with a C64 but does anything exist for the VIC-20?
Thanks guys!
