Does it copy > track 0 of RX01/02 floppies? I had some experience with RX01/02 floppies when reviving LSX using logical copies of the disks. Track 0 will be logically at the very end. The problem is with media size 256256: if the logical block size is 512, two physical 128-byte sectors (the boot sectors) will be lost, and the logical copy will be 256000 bytes long.
