Me too! SInce I really don't want to clone a copy-protected disk, Locksmith and the like aren't too useful. Somehow, I read the protected disk and wrote the files to a standard disk. I remember tools for such shenanigans, but they and my memory of how to use them are pretty dusty.
Once upon a time I was pretty good at this, since I wrote games and copy-protection tools for Activision, Sega, and other publishers. Unfortunately, I don't have those tools or the source code for them, since turning over all copies of such was part of the contract. 
I need to scare up a keyboard for my old Apple ][ or more likely a whole machine as a parts donor / replacement. I tried to set up the Apple][ last night and half the keys are dead. The old keyswitches are falling like flies. It also failed to boot the first time. Apparently one of the 2716 EPROMs has lost its programming. I used to wonder how long an EPROM would hold a program, since they are rated for 10 years typically. This is the first bad one I've come across that still had a sticker over the erase window. Time to dig out the ROM blaster and see how many bits lost their charge, or if the whole chip died. So - 20 years at least! But it's a reminder that there are millions of tiny capacitors whose leakage will disable our computers eventually. Wonder how long the flash memory in this Mini will last? Should we be reflashing our BIOSes every few years as a precaution? 8-o
