> Hi there!
>    I have successfully managed to run FDC and format and make a copy of
> the Master Welcome and Utilities Disc in adl format(ADFS). My aim now is
> to make copies of the Master 512 system discs from images that I
> downloaded from www.stairwaytohell.com . When I made the copy of the
> Master Welcome and Utilities disc, I used the command BBC640 for FDC. Due
> to the size of the files of the system discs, I decided to use BBC800.
> However, the Master 512 can not read the first boot up disc, or probably
> the others.
>     Does anyone have a suggestion as to what other command I could use in
> FDC other than BBC800 to write the system disc images to 3.5" floppy disc?
> I am thinking that the first disc, which is an adl file at 720kb requires
> the command "720kb" and the other disc images, which are img files may
> simply require BBC80. Two of the discs are 720kb in size and the other 2
> are 800kb in size. I am using dual density floppy discs from a Commodore
> Amiga(irrelevant really).
>     I did not that beside BBC800 was written Archimedes and I started to
> wonder what the difference between the Archimedes and the BBC Master 512
> was. Anyway, I don't think this format is compatible.
