   Hi David,   
   I tried using "Copy Cat" but it seems to default to using disks 0 & 1 only.   
   Floppies 0 & 1 are the 3.5 floppies. Drive 2 is where the 5.25" source disk   
   is. I tried using Copy Cat 1.0. Is there a version that allows you to choose   
   the drives 0 through 3?   
      
   Thanks!   
   -Chris
