The latest version can be found here Super File Back-Up and Utilities V1.0 with the following changes
-Now works with 1570/1571 (single-sided disks only). Drive types can be mixed
-Bug fixed in "info line" entry (couldn't validate disks containing it with other tools, including standard DOS. "illegal track or sector") |

Thomas Just told me it also works in both drive modes so this is great!
Thanks Lord Crass as I was close but you beat me on the 4.1 21 sec. and now this! Have fun guys as we see a wrap with what was the best copy protection scheme! and in 86 seemed impossible! |

Per Lord Crass
"And here's the long awaited Super Fast File Copier (A.K.A. Super File Back-Up & Utilities)
This one was even more well protected than the 21 Second Backup. Quite tricky, actually. I don't have a 2-drive parallel setup, and Vice doesn't emulate an aspect of the VIA (I think) to allow the 2-drive mode to work from a G64 image of the original, so getting this part put together was the most time consuming.
As always, some interesting text from the author hidden in the protection:
HAVE FUN
HELLO (in the decrypted portion of the primary drive's protection check)
HI FOLKS! CALL VG'S DATA SHACK TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE 21 SECOND BACK-UP. IT GOTS ALSO THIS AMAZING PROTECTION. CHARLES LEBORGNE
ALLO PIRATES! VOUS NE DEVRIEZ PAS ETRE ICI, MAIS J'ESPERE QUE VOUSAVEZ EU DU PLA ISIR A Y ARRIVER. CIAO!
Translated:
Hello pirates! You shouldn't be here, but I hope you had fun getting there. Ciao!
(in the decrypted section of the secondary drive's core protection)
This version should work on a wider variety of hardware than the original, along with PAL, alternate kernal/drive ROMs (JiffyDOS and S-JiffyDOS tested), cartridges, etc. I did my best to get it working and test it (in Vice, since I don't have these) with common parallel DOS setups such as SpeedDOS and DolphinDOS2 in 1 and 2 drive setups.
This will not work with setups where the parallel cable shows up at an address other than $1801. This includes DolphinDOS3, Professional DOS, etc. It also does not work with a 1571 for the same reason, plus due to not having any idea what to do with double-sided disks.
It also has a file size limit of 255 blocks."
Thanks for this amazing crack Lord Crass. As I don't have an actual Parallel cable to test this on real hardware, it would be great if somebody out there could give this a spin and report back. |
