READING FROM S6,D1
T00,S00 FOUND PRODOS BOOTLOADER
USING BUILT-IN RWTS
WRITING TO S5,D2

THE DISK WAS COPIED SUCCESSFULLY, BUT
PASSPORT DID NOT APPLY ANY PATCHES.

POSSIBLE REASONS:
- THE SOURCE DISK IS NOT COPY PROTECTED
- THE TARGET DISK WORKS WITHOUT PATCHES
- THE DISK USES AN UNKNOWN PROTECTION,
  AND PASSPORT CAN NOT HELP ANY FURTHER

Despite the log, the original disk is
quite well protected against bit
copiers. The RWTS requires the presence
of a timing bit in the address epilogue
of every sector. But the RWTS can also
read from standard disks, so once
Passport copies the disk, no further
patches are required.

Note to self: make Passport detect this
kind of RWTS and print an informational
message.

Quod erat liberandum.
