![]() The blue potentiometer next to the two green LEDs is used to sync up the drive speeds between the two FDS motors in TEST mode. The switch at the top left says TEST and COPY. The FDS RAM Adapter (already connected to a powered-on Famicom) is connected to the upper left connector. To use the device, the FDS that writes the disk is plugged into left side of the PCB (WRITE) and the drive that the disk is read from is plugged into the right side (READ). Thanks to Rob Budrick for the magazine advertisement. One such device is the disk-to-disk copying device, Dubbing Boy II (BP-103). In addition to tutorials in “mooks” like Backup Technique, some companies in Hong Kong produced devices that would enable the connection of two FDS drives for disk-to-disk copying. In this instance, the resulting copy will not be perfect and may not load correctly in different drives since drives are typically adjusted with slight alignment and speed differences. The disk instead retains the header already written onto it. Programs like the NTSC version of Copy Master can copy using a drive that has not been modded, but the program will not re-write the Nintendo-HVC header on the disk. Most require the use of a write-modded FDS so that the entire disk can be rewritten. There are numerous versions of these programs, but for the most part, they all function the same way.
