Marathon 1 disk 2- help!
Any chance SOMEONE out there happens to have an original FLOPPY set that they can get a proper disk copy 4.2 image off this disk?
I'm working on an in-depth archival project, and my original of the second disk fails about 963k in- I'd like to rewrite a proper image to it while I'm at it.
NOTE: I do have the original discs, I just need to repair my installer.
RESPONSES to the extent of "it's free online" will be ignored or flamed in response as you're missing the point.
Thanks!

On a related topic, anyone have:
ClarisImpact 1.0 disk 1 (Fails at 0k)
PAC-IN-TIME Disk 2 (copy #1 fails at 0k copy #2 fails at 100k)
Yes, I do have origionals of these!

Oh, and sorry I can't be of more help than this but:
Try imaging it with ShrinkWrap. It can image lots of things Disk Copy fails at if you use "Copy only used sectors"
It can also image to Disk Copy format.

shrinkwrap produces a bad image- i've tested it, as well as doing a 4.2 image via osx

OK, what I do when I have an unreadable disk is I rebuild it. What all files are on t he disk?
while rebuilding is an option, it's not the best case scenario in terms of 'archiving".
In the end, when i can't find a solution, i usually put it on my watched lists and buy a copy when it rolls around.
at some point, I do hope the vintage macintosh software "archiving" efforts actually start taking their projects seriously- more than just "who has the bigger archive"
still my question stands.. someone's gotta have a legit set of the floppies floating around... if it gets down to it, I'll buy another verified good set, but at the current "going" prices on ebay, it's a little silly, considering it's far from rare.
