   I'm looking for information as to what different methods there are
to duplicate copy-protected disks.  Now before you start screaming
`COPYRIGHT' and `Yo-ho-ho' I'll mention that my copy of `Ball Blazer'
(which I bought) failed to boot last night and now I have to go through
the hassle of getting it replaced from Epyx.  If they're prompt it may
only take a week or so, if they're like most companies I expect it to
take 3 to 4 weeks.
   Apart from the fact I don't know if I can live without `Ball Blazer'
for a month why should I have too?  I have never felt easy not having
back-ups for my copy-protected programs and have decided to look into
the ways available.  I don't really care if the system simply duplicates
the disk or compresses it into a binary load file, what I'm looking for
is reliability and the capability to handle most copy-protection schemes.
   If anyone has any info on the different systems available, like the
Happy drive or The Chip, I'd be interested in hearing from you.
