   Turbo-copier Fast Copy v3.00



    Hey, people! Achtung! Achtung! If
you have on the disk version 2.98 - wash it
to hell and enjoy it now
only version 3.00, which lacks the previously observed glitches 
2.98. Besides from this, has added new features,

by which FC has become one of the most
steep and fast copier format TR-DOS!
Fast Copy v3.00 is designed for quick and easy potrekovogo 
kopirivaniya TR-DOS disks. Has a developed system

adjustable parameters, support
RAM expansion component ZS-256 (without GMX),
PROFI, PENTAGON 128/256/512. For incurable fans SoftCopy 
Bazaar: FC SC does not yield the speed and ease of operation an 
order of magnitude greater than it (the more that the SC has 
its specification is that SC - juicy Copier anything and 
everything - - No doubt: we are talking

only the TR-DOS). A vivid example: wheels,
having more than 2,544 sectors in the provision
(Use a file tracks> # A0
(160)) will be copied incorrectly SC
(Optional TR-DOS-up in the standard
form has a border # 9F (159)). Note
this is just one benefit, if
ischo want - read to the end (and
need to delve into the matter).


           Not supported:

 - Version TRDOS, are not compatible with
5.03 (5.04t) and below them;
 - Neanderthal disk parameters
(Drive) Type: one side, single density, is only supported
DS / DD;


              That is able to:

 - Very quickly copied (with or without formatting) from A to 
B, B to A, A on A B to B, as well as from A to A and B to B in

RESTORER'a mode);
 - Change of address to copy (as potrekovaya and drayvskaya);
 - Special-LAG function to optimize
speed drive (sold only in the RDS v3.1);
 - Browse catalogs A and B (idea: Nike / NSG, until now nowhere 
in this kind of prog not relizino!);

 - Avtotreking: defines the last
busy with track and "embed" in the parameters
Copy - for the lazy or rushing
human, too, marvel marvelous unseen);
 - Preservation of the body SETUP'ov FC;
 - Flexible configuration RETRY'ev;
 - The correct response to errors
DOS'a (including handling BREAK);
 - Many other things (read below) ...


    So. The top line bend
specified version of the program and the capacity of the 
wheelbarrow (Kb).



    Scale. Visual Supervisor copying. Depicted on the scale 
shaped as letters and tsiferki Hex represent

LOGICAL track numbering on disc
# A7. Vertical shtrishkami specified
border copy for matching them (there is a shtrishok) nenaivno 
believe that copied one track. With the direct copying top

horizontal bar indicates the current shtrishkov readable track, 
and the lower, respectively, written. At each

cylinder spending three Piks indications:
first - track with an even number, the second - track with an 
odd number, the third separator between the cylinders (if 
someone do not know what the cylinder, then I will explain -

- It is such Diatlovo old helmet
which used to be a solid progressive outfit for the vat).


    Then up and down will appear
"Stylized" inscription Fast Copy.
Sometimes you will hear a bazaar type Ok or No
depending on the correctness of execution
a particular function. No market is not
occurs when an error occurs in
copying process and the reason here
banal (Mandarin) - Disease (no
memory).


    Options. Knopichkemi QAOP and cursor
by cursor movement inversion
through menu options. Pressing klavischy "input"
or "space" by putting p.ch. in
aa, ie, "Particles of programming in
"Analizatsionnoe office" program, and
not what you probably already own
Imagine ...


    In addition, there are four ischo
knopiski:

'1 'S directory of drive A;
'2 'Directory of drive B;
'C' avtotreking (on success
triggered an option that you may ENDTRACK
confirm your choice, boss (?));
'S' save settings in the body Basic -
- File "FCOP3.00 ", and the name of the file
should be like that.


    Parameter options can be entered into
hexadecimal and decimal
radix. All that being said,
Peace on Earth.


    For rusty brake option SOURCE
DRIVE, DESTINATION DRIVE, START TRACK,
END TRACK, ofkozzhe not clear ...
However, there are comments and
normal chuvakoff. With regard to
SOURCE / DESTINATION drives, then you
probably notice that we can choose
drives C and D. In fact when
copying, for example, from A to C (alt with B
to D) will be made up with
And the A (alt with a B to B) without any "stupid"
clues such as INSERT ... DISK, ie,
what is called a mode RESTORER'a.
With regards to START / END TRACK say this.
A "vskobochny" ON in options END TRACK
means that the track is specified here
also included in the copy. If,
analysis of input parameters to copy
find that the START> END, then they
interchanged, so that you do not mind.
The best possible option END
TRACK'a is track # A7 (167), so
as the overall range of copy
is # 00 - # A7, ie 168 tracks.
However, the "standard" and more reasonable
have 166 tracks, as some
very smart drives (even 3'5 ") does not
want to poke my head off for the buoys (for 159
track).


    Pervomajskij select FORMAT DESTINATION: YEA (NEA) is to you
in the process of copying could his voice (!) to manage the 
copiers. For this we need to stoop to the key, and TRUE VIDEO 
tell (whisper softly) his command, and then three times to lick 
the key INV. VIDEO. If the copier will refuse

execute your command - try
reset bit multitasking keystroke EXT.MODE / Q.


    Fancy option DRIVE SPEED
intended to adjust the speed
drive (it's an inner ability
any drive). The larger the parameter, the
slowly rotating disk. If you have
"A collection of broken disc, you can
try this: set DRIVE
SPEED = # 03 and try to write
(Necessarily with the formatting!) Anything on this disc, and 
perhaps find that "holes" have disappeared (you never know?).



    So we (or you?) Priperlis to
description of the options RETRY's COUNT'ov. How do I
I hope can be seen from the English letters that
COUNT - a counter in this case
is the counter "perepotytok. Dale I
called RETRY's COUNT I - RC-I, a
RETRY's COUNT II - RC-II. What is this
crap is that? When an error occurs
chteiiya / FC record attempt (perepopytaetsya ") n-oe number of 
times to read / write bad sector - counter such attempts

is the RC-I. Very useful tool
(Incorporated in the FC) is the restoration of the SH (drainage 
Baska on track # 00) and positioning on the original track - 
counter these distortions is the RC-II. Relationship between 
the RC-I and RC-II is as follows: RC-II - is nothing more than 
a factor RC-I. It is interesting to work the counters when

records in their # 00: RC-I just turned off and RC-II once 
still will reposition the head with drive, but as reading / 
writing itself is not performed (RC-I = # 00), then such 
provision Affairs does not make sense. Note that the above zero 
for the RC-II - is in fact # 01, # 01 in fact # 02, etc.

    Now, how would say legendary
Nicolas, it all became clear even to those who
did not understand.


    LAG NEXT TRACK - the literal translation
"Being late the next track." One of the
the coolest features. As is known,
different drives operate at different speeds, also the program 
is treated information on the disk at different speeds:

any Indo-Russian dictionaries
are slower than the loaders, but also
loaders, as the fastest form of transport on different drive 
work differently ... In order to speed up data are used more 
and interleukin (InterLeave). This piece engaged that sector 
during formatting become spread all tracks in a certain 
alternation. For example, standard Interlachen TR-DOS ROM is 
determined by the number 2 and sector on the track are as 
follows as follows:




            08192A3B4C5D6E7F



    It is easy to see that sector are
"One" and, again, it is easy to
prepolozhit that interlive-3 sector
will rotate through the two:



            06B17C28D39E4AF5



    Therefore, perhaps at interlive = 2
Russian-Indian dictionary will work
a little faster. But! ... We are with you
Progressive People and assume that
"Our code is steep and our car faster."
Astute (or raising) tovarischi have noticed that an abnormally 
interliva option also means that, for how many revolutions the 
disk track will be read in full. For example, if interlive-3 to 
the processing of all sectors of the track will take 3 turns 
the disc ... In general, Interlachen = 1 rulez and all the disk 
utility format the snail-like: 


       n +0 track 0123456789ABCDEF

       n +1 track 0123456789ABCDEF

       n +2 track 0123456789ABCDEF


    In one of these tools, specifically
RDS, I saw a strange word to me then
LAG and indeed the prog came to me without
description. Then I was just Teac
5'25 and experiments with LAG'om to anything
did not result in good: an increase in
LAG parameter processing speed track
fell. Later, I set myself the drive
Panasonic 3'5. At that time I knew
following LAG NEXT TRACK (being late
the next track) increases the pause
transition to the expectation of the initial (at
number) sector, the next track. Here
you a small example (in LAG = # 02):


       n +0 track 0123456789ABCDEF

       n +1 track EF0123456789ABCD

       n +2 track CDEF0123456789AB


    In essence, the sector # 00 tracks n +0
to sector # 00 track n +1 is necessary to do
the way to # 12 sectors # 10 of whom
processed (read / write) and "last" two (already on the track
n +1) form a slight pause before the arrival
to head with the sector # 00 (entry by number). This pause and 
compensate the delay the positioning of the track at n +0

track n +1.


    On my 5'25 prog read (vb) / write (to be) without LAG'ov at 
maximum speed can not be said about the drive on

3'5. Probably, the speed of its
relatively more than than 5'25,
and therefore the sector # 00 to audiences n +1 flew by and we 
had to wait a full revolution drive! Empirically, I picked the 
optimal value LAG'a (# 02) and drive 3'5 stop braking!



    If you are interested in this
fact, I suggest you also pick up
experienced by LAG on your (and) drive (s):
Set LAG = # 00, record a few
tracks (formatirovaniem!), count the
processing time assigned count
tracks, will increase LAG and repeat
operation (from writing).


    You can pick up a LAG prog,
uses more disk space
(Indo - Russian dictionary), or even
a disc (game).


    CALL MUSICAL DRIVE - rather dull
and the strange name is quite justified
their goal - the drive is trying to accompany Mouzon. Mouzon 
written KLAV'om (CB). Prichnoy by which it got here

this muzak is simple - the root of the hard, raves
performed AY tochnyak you break your drive. All options (Drive 
A, B, speed drive) are mounted directly in main menu (the drive 
is selected by item SOURCE DRIVE). During playback, Mouzon act 
knopitsy O / P, Enter (ON / OFF channel C AY, under which sings 
the drive) and the cosmos. The beginning does not sound very 
convincing (at least for me), but then ... In general, cool! 
The presence of disk in a drive does not necessarily ... 


    In the FC is almost always involved a combination of keys 
SS / A (STOP on iS-DOS'u) for a truly happy cardholder 
Praporshick Sound (this Schaub did not put pressure on RESET).



    ... Our transmission comes to an end
please release the cars ...


    Well. Came to a logical conclusion fable about the 
legendary (?) Copiers Fast Copy. On any glitch, plz, tell any 
way to the author.
