🕹️ X-Copy – The Legendary Amiga Disk Copier That Defined an Era 🌐 Explore More Retro Computing & Events: 👉 https://www.cheekycommodoregamer.co.u... X-Copy, developed by Cachet Software in the late 1980s, became one of the most iconic disk-copying utilities ever created for the Commodore Amiga. Originally coded by Frank Neuhaus and Hans Georg Berg, X-Copy allowed users to duplicate floppy disks at sector level — even those using non-standard formats or advanced copy protection. Its powerful raw copying modes, verification system, and support for protected disks made it an essential tool for both casual users and hardcore enthusiasts. What really set X-Copy apart was its instantly recognisable interface — the moving progress bar, bold fonts, and unforgettable “BOING!” sound effect turned disk copying into a uniquely Amiga experience. Later versions added support for hardware like the Cyclone interface, enabling faster and more reliable transfers, alongside formatting tools, boot-sector checks, and advanced verification options. Although officially promoted as a legitimate backup utility, X-Copy became central to the Amiga software-sharing scene, shaping how users preserved and experienced games throughout the early 1990s. Today, X-Copy remains a true legend in retro computing history. Its look, sound, and name are instantly recognisable to anyone who owned an Amiga — symbolising an era of creativity, experimentation, and floppy-disk culture. 💬 Did you use X-Copy back in the day?
