Disk Doctor is one program that stands out on this kit. There is also Disk exam and editors. File Compactor, Fast Disk Copy and a Fast formatter. The menu does look pretty boring. See the screen shots below.

Super Kit/1541
Super Kit/1541 was sold by Prism Software around 1986. It included many different copiers like a Normal Copier, Nibbler, File Copier, Super Nibbler, Disk Surgeon, Editors. There was also parameters on Side-B (see the list below).
I was told that version #1 was very picky about the drive being use and the speed had to be exact or it wouldn’t make working copies. Version 2 worked much better.
Superkit was a powerful copier for it’s time period.
The program played music during the dual drive coping.
Interesting fact is that the program could make a copy of itself,
BUT could not make a copy of the copy.
PROTECTION on the disk: Custom format – extra tracks to 38 and all density 3 except track 18
To Copy try: Shotgun V1 (not V2) with density detect on T1-T38. If that doesn’t work lower your drive speed to 298 and try again.

Super Copy (1984)
There are a few programs called Super Copy, this one was sold by Richvale Telecommunications or RTC. This program claims to copy a disk in under 7 minutes, with complete pattern matching. Was that an early term for coping protection? I could not find a copy of this program to take a screen shot from.

Copy Clone
Copy Clone is one of those programs I found an ad for but never heard of. I also can’t find a copy of it. Highlights are that it can copy a protected disk in 5 minutes. Works with over 80% of the software. Also will not damage your disk drive. Also included over 20 utilities like: Disk drive analysis, 30 second format, disk editior..
