#50# Quick startup info: EZ-Copy Lite is a diskette duplication program which lets you, the user, mass produce diskettes quickly and easily. It allows you to read a diskette once and then make as many copies as you want. EZ-Copy Lite supports all standard 5 1/4 inch low density formats. The standard formats are: 160K, 180K, 320K, and 360K. To copy a diskette use the Copy pulldown off the main menu. Insert the diskette you would like to copy. Next tell EZ-Copy Lite where you put the diskette by pressing 1 for drive A: or 2 for drive B:. Your diskette will be loaded into memory. Take out your master source diskette and place the diskette you would like to make the copy on into a drive, it doesn't matter which drive. Now it is time to tell EZ-Copy Lite to make the copy. Press A to make the copy in drive A: or B for drive B:. EZ-Copy Lite will automatically format your floppy if it isn't already formatted. Repeat this step to make as many copies as you want. Isn't it nice not to have to reload your source diskette each time? Refer to other sections of the On-Line Manual for additional information. F1 is available to call up help while you are using EZ-Copy Lite. #51# 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 � Commonly Asked Questions � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 1. Will EZ-Copy Lite (EZCL) duplicate copy protected diskettes? No. EZCL will only duplicate unprotected diskettes with no bad sectors. 2. Why does EZCL require 640K of RAM? EZCL holds an entire 360K diskette in memory allowing you to make multiple copies without reading the source diskette for each copy. Total RAM used is 360K (for in memory diskette) + 128K (for EZCL) + 80K (for DOS 4.0) = 568K. #100# EZ-Copy Lite allows you to read an entire diskette into memory and then make as many copies as you want without reading the master diskette again. To do this it must retain an image of the master diskette in memory. This image can take up to 360K of storage space. That is the major reason EZ-Copy Lite requires 640K RAM for operation. EZ-Copy Lite outperforms DOS's diskcopy both in speed and in safety of the operation. EZ-Copy Lite speeds up the access times of your disk drive allowing quicker reads and writes. It also verifys the copy by checking the CRC written to the diskette during the copy process. When making a copy, EZ-Copy Lite (unless told otherwise) will check the diskette to see if it is already formatted and then proceed either with the copy or the format and copy. Just feed it diskettes, you don't need to worry about the destination diskette. Nothing could be easier! System requirements: An IBM PC or totally compatible clone, 640K of RAM, and IBM PC DOS version 3.0 or later. EZ-Copy Lite should work with any version of MS DOS 3.0 or later but has not been tested with all the possible MS DOS versions. #200# �袴袴袴袴袴箇袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴箇袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � DOS-EZCL � PC DOS 3.1 Diskcopy � EZ-Copy Lite � � Timing 勁袴袴袴錮袴袴袴袴佶袴袴袴袴胱袴袴袴錮袴袴袴袴佶袴袴袴袴� � Tests � Load � Save 쿑mt &Save� Load � Save 쿑mt &Save� 勁袴袴袴袴誥袴袴袴袴妄袴袴袴曲袴袴袴袴誥袴袴袴袴妄袴袴袴曲袴袴袴袴攷 �4.77MHZ PC� 28 sec � 45 sec � 105 sec � 28 sec � 44 sec � 60 sec � * 픔컴컴컴컴켰컴컴컴컴탠컴컴컴컵컴컴컴컴켰컴컴컴컴탠컴컴컴컵컴컴컴컴캘 �8MHZ PC-AT� 27 sec � 42 sec � 59 sec � 26 sec � 42 sec � 58 sec � ** 픔컴컴컴컴켰컴컴컴컴탠컴컴컴컵컴컴컴컴켰컴컴컴컴탠컴컴컴컵컴컴컴컴캘 �10MHZ PCAT� 27 sec � 44 sec � 60 sec � 18 sec � 34 sec � 58 sec � *** 훤袴袴袴袴菰袴袴袴袴鳩袴袴袴賈袴袴袴袴菰袴袴袴袴鳩袴袴袴賈袴袴袴袴暠 Notes: EZ-Copy Lite (EZCL) is a fast, safe, and easy to use diskette duplication program. Pull down menus, context sensitive help, on-line manual, and multiple copies per read are supported. Times may change as we continue to improve EZ-Copy Lite. Please note that the faster your computer, the more EZ-Copy Lite out performs IBM PC DOS. EZ-Copy Lite can make mutiple copies per read. Diskcopy can't. EZ-Copy Lite far out performs PC DOS Diskcopy for mutiple copies! #201# The machines used for testing: * IBM PC running an 4.77 MHz 8088 with 1 memory wait state ** Zenith Z248 running an 8 MHz 80286 with 1 memory wait state *** IBM PC AT running an 10 MHz 80286 with 1 wait state (factory 6 MHz) The above times are affected by the DOS version, both by its revision and its source (IBM, Compaq, etc). Any small change in your hardware may throw off the timing of EZ-Copy Lite. Memory resident programs slow down EZ-Copy Lite and may drastically (up to 50%) slow the disk operations. Even such a small thing as displaying the track number while copying took many hours of work to speed up to where it didn't slow down operations. All tests were run with IBM PC DOS with no memory resident programs. If your timing tests show results radically different from the above figures please write us with the figures. If you did better we will praise EZ-Copy Lite, if you did worse we will try to find something to blame it on. #300# HISTORY OF REVISIONS: 袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� EZ-Copy Lite ver 1.0 Aug 1988 Basic Version.
