Subject: Re: Writing Master Compact disks on a RiscPC

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I took the drive out of the Compact & tried it in the RiscPC - it 
doesn't work at all (but it works fine in the Compact)
I did some more testing and swapping - including the drive from my 
Master 128 - and ended up swapping the Compact drive for the Master 128 
drive.
Now I can format disks and write files from disk images onto floppies 
using the RiscPC and read them on the Compact - woooohoooo! :)

Now I just have to figure out why *MRUN doesn't work on the Compact ... 
ADFS version?

Cheers
Richard
