▒▒▒ USAGE ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
Using Passport is simple. After running the program, put an
original disk in slot 6, drive 1 and a blank formatted disk in any
other drive. If necessary, press S to cycle through your drives.
Then press C to start the cracking.
If all goes well, Passport will read your original disk and write a
copy in a standard format, then remove any protection checks from
the copy. The copy will boot and run just as well as the original
disk, but it will be copyable with COPYA or any full-disk copy
program.
If all does not go well, Passport will tell you where it all went
wrong.
During the process, you can press any key to cancel immediately.
If you have a two-sided disk where only one side is bootable, after
the first side completes, you can press 2 to reuse the captured
RWTS on the second side.
If Passport stops because of read errors but you suspect the errors
are due to physical damage (as opposed to just copy protection),
you can retry the process ignoring errors by pressing Ctrl-R. The
resulting copy may or may not be usable.
In any case, Passport will NEVER write to or alter your original
disk in any way. And neither should you! Don't reduce the number of
original disks in the world; they aren't making any more of them.
