Got my first two dedicated machines today
cyapps:
I do have a couple old games in the basement but these are the first two I purchased. I have been wanting a Golden Tee for a little while even though I only played it once. It is a Golden Tee 2005 Extra. Plus he left the bill acceptor in even though he was going to remove it so that is a fun little toy to have. The bowling game is a World Class Bowling Deluxe (he put the Silver Strike Marquee in there because the other was severely cracked) and installed a new Happ trackball. I wanted the bowling so my nieces and nephews could play as well as it brings back memories from when I played it as a teen with the family.
I want to image the Golden Tee hard drive just in case and just wanted to make sure that all I needed to do was connect it to my pc as a slave drive or just hook it up with my ide to usb cable and do a bit for bit copy onto an image?
P.S. Sorry about that robot in the second picture giving you the stink eye, it is a recycled robot project I "helped" my nephew with.

People that don't usually like arcade games will love the Golden Tee. I have the regular 2005 Fore!, and its the game that people who are intimidated by machines will walk up to. World Class Bowling is the game my kid always wants to play. Good choices. :cheers:
Would you mind doing a follow up when you get your answer to the drive copy? I have a backup drive that I bought for mine, but never tested it. I wouldn't mind having a copy of my specific drive.

I've never done it, but i 'think' you would use chdman to image and/or restore harddrives. Ex: http://www.revisionx.com/kiproject/chdman.html

Exactly why these were my first two purchases (I enjoy them to of course).

As soon as I give it a try I will follow up, the problem is I wouldn't know if the the restore side of things works unless I erase my game drive and restore the image to it. I think I may get a ide to cf adapter and just remove the original drive for safe keeping and use just use a compact flash card. This has the added benefit of removing a bit of noise and maybe a bit more reliable.
Sledgehammer:
I have used a program called Copy Commander many times to copy a hard drive for either backup or to upgrade my C drive size. It works outside of windows (meaning you set bios to boot from the CDROM) and does a 100% copy of your hard drive.
You would just need to connect the golden tee drive to your PC and then connect a new drive as well. Run the program and have it dupe the Golden Tee drive over to the new drive and you would be all set.
I got Copy Commander from eBay for 20 bucks or I'm sure if you're web savvy you could find a torrent of it pretty easily.
