Di-Sector
Di-Sector V2.0 & V3.0
Version 2 came out in 1984, version 3 in 1986.
Makes copies with only 3 switches, included a machine language monitory.
I never used this one either, can anyone comment on it?
PLUS here is the Di-Sector Manual I scanned it: DI-Sector_V3.0_Instruction_Manual-B
Di-Sector V1.0 screen shot!
V3.0 Screens shot:
WHAT are all those 001010101 on the back cover?
Well Thanks to Cryptoboy he has decoded it and it is a message!
The codes translates to:
SPECIAL THANKS TO MIKE J. HENRY FOR THE NIBBLE AND ARTS BACKUP!!!
How awesome is that?

Disclone Plus
Disclone Plus (1986)
This was a pretty small ad I found and I have never seen this software.
But for the $60 price I’m not sure how well it sold in 1986.
Deep Scan Burst Nibbler
Deep Scan Burst Nibbler
This was another software/hardware system.
It used a parallel cable to connect your 1541 to your C-64.
Using this method the software would copy the disk as raw data
and did not need to decode it. Resulting in a “perfect” copy.
Copy II 64
Copy II 64 was a program that I liked to use alot BITD (back in the back).
Maybe because it was not copy protected and was able to copy itself. I should say that I would NEVER EVER buy a copy program then or now that couldn’t even copy it’s self. Like many others I thought, if it can NOT make a copy of it’s self it must not be that good!

Clone Machine
AKA: SUPER CLONE
Here are multiple versions of the Clone Machine.
First out in 1984, there ads always seemed to have a funny character in them.
Claims to be #1 for the Commodore 64. Then added something called “Super Clone” and “Super Unguard”. With the average price of $49.95 it did seem to be pretty expensive for 1984. Here is the MANUAL: The_Clone_Machine_with_Unguard
