Load the image and increment each track one by one. You will notice a series of AA's or 55's, following by a sync (44894489). This could be shifted by a 1-3 bits though. It will be pretty obvious if the disk was written with the index pulse as the start of the write data. For disks that weren't, you won't see the 55's or AA's, you will see random data for each track.
Thank you for explaining. Now when I get my Super Card Pro I will do like you say and bring the image up in analyzer. If its not Index mark can I send you my .SCP image so you can tell me if its copy protected? I only assume the disk is copy protected otherwise they wouldnt say the disk must be in DF0 in order for the program to work.
