You can monitor progress of the copying by watching the twin
boxes at the bottom of the screen; they are updated every 5 tracks during
the copy process. There are 80 tracks total per side of a disk, thus,
160 on a double sided disk.
Also, the copy process is "smart" with regards to the ST's
memory; if enough memory is available to hold the disk image, no
disk swapping is necessary.
Detect Disk Insertion: This option tells the Spectre whether or not
to use the write-protect line to the floppy drives to detect a disk being
inserted into a drive, or a disk being removed from a drive.
