About the Author of  These Pages

News:
2/6.02: No, I'm not dead. The DSV article is coming, along with maybe a weak sector patcher, depending on how my research turns out.
11/25/02: Coming Soon: Total DSV explanation, and why a high one makes sectors hard to read.
11/25/02: CD-Cops/Securom Newer/Starforce has arrived
10/24/02: CD-Cops/Securom Newer/Starforce explanation coming soon!
10/6/02: Tagès technical information added.
            I also switched hosts, you may notice. Tripod accused me of "Copyright Infringement," but at least allowed me to leave a redirect at the previouse link. This new host has no banners, but does have an exit popup :-( . But, on the non ad-related front, the new host has unlimited bandwidth, and 50 megs of space :-).

8/14/02: SafeDisc 2 article updated to show why some drives can copy it and others cannot. This makes it the most complete (Publicly availiable) article on Weak Sectors in existence! (You'd think that this page would have gotten more than 250 hits then, eh?)
