Any chance of getting the source code to the Copier?
I can't imagine it could hurt sales, since you can't do squat with the Copier without buying the hardware anyway, right?
The reason I ask is because the Copier is not well suited to me for doing batch work right now -- the UI which I think is ideal for doing batch work may be different from the next persons...
For example: I would drop the OK-To-Start-Popup immediately, I would add an option to generate both ADF and SCP files, with ADF coming first so that I can keep an eye on whether the floppy drive head is still healthy. I'd also do something with the filename-entry process, but would have to experiment to figure out what's most efficient. Up til now, I've been using OpenCBM and ZoomFloppy to do 5.25" disks, and have enjoyed the fact that the command line tools allow me the flexibility to wrap my processes in whatever UI I desire.
Thank you for considering my humble Plea. I have around 500 3.5" Amiga disks ahead of me, and thousands of 5.25" disks. It's well worth it to me to invest some time now to smooth out the process for the coming months/years, though not worth it to learn the protocol and start from scratch as the SDK suggests.
