Creating TRS80 Copy Protected Floppies

Have you asked the author of HxC to fix the disk type on his end? You shouldn't have to try to work around problems in his software.

Yes, Jeff knows about the issue. However, I think I want to figure out a way to allow changing the disk type. We are going to need this shortly anyways as I am adding a bunch of new disk types and those that have used the "other" definition may want to switch to a disk type that better matches the disk in question.

If you need someone to help test your changes, I'd be glad to!

Thanks... I am still tinkering with ways to accomplish this.
