My Results of copying Amiga Disks so far
#17
When I add the post read normalization routine, copies of copies of copies of copies, etc. will work. However, it should be noted that every drive reads and writes data a little bit differently. I can make numerous copies of Nitro before the copy won't load. I am working on the verify routine and that will solve the issue completely because it compares the flux data times bit for bit and adjusts the bit cell times so the track comes out the perfect length with every bit cell the correct length, based on the rotational speed of the drive. This lets you also do things like use an image created by a 360 RPM drive with a drive that is 300 RPMs.

Supercard Ami III used a PEEL to actually change the data post read to minimize the issue.

If you are curious how much change occurs, use the Display Flux option and look at the original vs. a copy.
