I just got my Discovery Cartridge a few weeks ago and I am almost
happy with it. It does backup some software I was unable to backup
up with ST software only prgs, but there are a few things it won't
back up. It won't do OIDS although it does Dungeon Master, and it
is totally worthless backing up Starglider II. I also have an Amiga
and I had hoped it could be used to back up some Amiga software. Well
here's where the real disappointment occured, it can't copy a simple
Amiga DOS disk. I 've heard, and am about to confirm that a software
only Amiga copy utility "Project D" will copy the above mentioned ST
software as well as Amiga stuff. It makes me wonder why I invested
in the Happy Discovery Cartridge? I'm hoping future upgrades in the
software will resolve this. Is anyone else out there in ST Land
using the Discovery Cartridge?
