Someone out there must know how to do it!

How can I change that "unique" ID that I've assigned to a diskette during
its initialization process on the C-64?

I know its on Track 18, Sector 0, Bytes 162 and 163. But how can I change
it?

Thanks.

A widely advertised disk utility program called The Clone Machine has the
capability of changing a disk ID.  I don't know how it is done, but it
works.  In fact, if you use its program to "new" a disk, it always sets
the id to CC and the name to CLONE; you have to then go to the editing
utility to change to the name/id you want.  The important part of TCM is
its ability to copy disks, including some protected ones.  But it has
some problems -- more about that later.

Did I miss (new to net and C-64) reviews of disk copy programs, or haven't there
been any? If former, I'd appreciate someone mailing me a summary; if latter,
I (and others probably) would like to hear experiences.
