One of the things I've hung onto from the early years of the Mac is a v. 1.0 diskette of ChipWits. I've got a Mac Plus, but it won't run on that. It apparently only runs on the 128K or 512K.
What I'm trying to do is make a disk image of it that can be used with MiniVMac, etc. and maybe post it on Macintosh Garden or elsewhere. Unfortunately, I'm running into nothing but roadblocks.
I'm running the Mac Plus on System 6.0.8, MultiFinder off, if that matters.
When I try to use Disk Copy 4.2, I get an error -67 after it tries to read the disk into memory. It also makes an alarming series of beeps (high/low/high/low/high/low) and spits the disk out.
I also tried using DiskDup Pro (v1.0.3). After inserting the disk, it gives me a "read failed" error after reading 194K of the disk. If I try to use the Skip Unused Sectors option, it gets stuck at the same point, but keeps trying to read in an endless loop, and eventually I have to shut down the Mac to recover.
I tried SuperCopy 1.1 and almost accidentally formatted the disk. In any case, that didn't work either. Same read errors.
Finally, I tried copying the files on the disk to a different volume in the Finder. I immediately get this message: "That cannot be duplicated or copied."
I also tried all this on an external floppy drive, just in case it was a problem with the internal.
I'm guessing that part of the problem is that this is a copy-protected disk. But, since even SuperCopy, which can supposedly copy copy-protected disks, can't do it, maybe the disk is actually gone bad.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
