   an error on track 1. The drives have passed all diagnostics (Floppy Doctor)   
   and work fine with TRSDOS and LS-DOS so I'm reasonable sure they're OK. Is   
   there a trick to making    
   COPYDISK work? A patch maybe?

   Radio Shack, the jerks they were, would not refund my purchase since the   
   shrink wrap had been opened.  So I let it sit on my shelf.  Many years later I   
   acquired a newer Model    
   4 that would boot them.  I didn't bother trying to copy them at that point.    
   The BIOS and utilities were quite buggy and they never fixed them to my   
   knowledge.

   the other TRS-80 Model III and 4 double density disks.  Tracks 1 to 39 were 8   
   x 512 byte sectors.

   I'm using COPYDISK right off the CP/M Plus diskettes. You'd think at least   
   that would work!
