ChV. Things are coming to an end (as always:)

Vyacheslav, why did you decide that ZX-Format is protected by the “track length method”?
In terms of disk layout, everything is much simpler there (trust me!) and all of this is
elementarily copied. The trouble is that the protection in issues 4.5, 5, 6
costs the same, it’s already getting boring...

With such a frequency of publication of the magazine, it would be nice to change something in
the principle of protection...

With respect, Yuri

Yuri is that you?

further advance the defense into a sophisticated plan, with a jumping length...

from the 4th number, in my opinion, it’s worth checking the length of one track.

p.s. If anyone wants, I can tell you how to make hard-to-copy
protection based on different lengths. Or rather, about hardware.

Good Luck...

It just didn’t occur to me that they abandoned the “path length” protection. And, naturally, I didn’t climb inside...

This is for sure, however, note that ZXF for some reason began to gain momentum again - the 8th
number is just around the corner :)

With warm greetings, Glory!

I just remembered that in Spectrum Expert the authors promise (starting from
the second issue) a new type of non-copyable disk protection (on PC/Amiga)

Warm greetings, Slava!

yeah, at a jumping length... we know... and copy! :)

Good Luck...

no, on the 3rd there was still a simple one (a modification from the first)... And from the 4th
it seemed to have a long one. I didn’t get into it.

no, hardly... there’s nothing else! :)
