FWIW, I have had much luck using AST to make backups of copy-protected
DOS 3.3 software. It's never let me down, even when Copy ][ Plus and
others have.

Hi,
That's what I figured but wasn't sure.
I have to try Copy II Plus and see if I can do something to save them.

If you can boot the disks and they work, yet you cannot read them with
a normal disk program (shrinkit in your example), then the issue is
probably due to copy protection on the disk itself. Most software
publishers used some sort of format protection to make Apple II disks
non-readable by standard means. Utilities like Copy II plus might
allow you to make a workable backup, but the backup will most likely
still be format protected and still unreadable by normal means.

Hi,
I recently tried archiving some of my original disks using shrink-it
on my IIGS, but keep getting I/O error message.
I know that disks work and I have a feeling that the problem is that
they are not PRODOS. Can anyone help me
as I might be doing something wrong or simply I am using wrong
software.
Thanks,
George
