Duplicating Diskettes with Diskcopy
Make a copy ofthe'master diskette included with your Tandy 600, then
store it in a safe place. Never use the master diskette for data storage or
routine operations. Also make backups of your data diskettes periodically
to guard against data loss.
Before you begin the diskcopy, remove as many unnecessary files from
RAM as possible. This frees all available memory for the diskcopy. The
more memory available (up to 64K), the faster the diskcopy.
Recommendations
•
Do not use the Diskcopy utility when running on battery
power; first plug the unit into an AC power source.
• Use Diskcopy only to copy a diskette that contains a large
number of files or a diskette that contains a very large file
(too large to fit into RAM). Most other copies are more
efficiently performed using the Copy command.
