Yeah, Blitz is a disk copier made by Power Computing.
It's very powerful, and comes in hardware and software
components. The hardware for my version came in the form
of a Power Computing PC800B disk drive, but I heard it's
in the dual model as well. :) It's great as it can copy
Atari ST disks, Archameedies (sorry, I know I couldn't spell
that right) and PC disks.

And it's fast. But doesn't have verify.

I haven't found much use for it myself, but if I ever need to copy some
PD it works fine. :)

Stu. :)
