 Subject: Re: [M100] copying dvi system disks Just 
to clarify, when you copy the 100/200 disk with a 200, the resulting copy works 
on both 100 and 200, just like the original.If you have a DVI, and the 100/200 
version of the system disk, try use only a 200 to make copies of that disk. If 
you only have a 100 or 102, and you obviously need to make copies for your own 
use since you want to minimize wear on the original, at least make sure they 
are labeled as no good for use with 200, even though the original is, and even 
though there are files for 200 on it, and it looks just like the original in 
all ways.-- bkw
