Yes you could copy the original.. Each disk was done by hand because after
duplication I found out that the sync lengths were not as the originals and did
not boot because it thought it was a copy. So spent the next 2 days and nights
fixing this problem
by hand. Should have duplicated the disks in house but to make it more reliable
we used a professional duplicator. I can tell you that after the 100th disk and
not sleeping almost 2 days.. I wanted to say I did but didnt if you know what I
mean but
thought I was supposed to make some money off it.. But his check bounced so no
updates and released V3 to PD which was basically just a souped up file
copier..
To copy it, you have to make sure the sync length is as per original.. There is
no other protection..
