Amiga XCopy Cyclone Dongle Disk Copier

XCOPY COMPATIBLE CYCLONE DONGLE

Now available a replacement compatible auto-switch cyclone dongle, ideal if you have lost your original and a cost effective alternative to finding one on places like eBay

The TruMouse Cy-Clone dongle is an active auto-switch dongle that can be left permanently connected to your external drive, and is fully compatible with the later Cyclone copier software that needs a version T2 dongle to work

This dongle allows the more advanced modes Nibble, Deep Nibble, APWM and Sync disk copy modes and the disk verify mode in the cyclone software to help backup protected disks

How to backup protected Amiga disks with Cyclone 

The Cyclone disk copier software is controlled using only keyboard keys, not the mouse

SPACE BAR = CHANGE COPY MODE

ARROW KEYS = CHANGE START AND END TRACK VALUES 

RETURN KEY = STARTS DISK OPERATION
