Subject: Blownout diskettes on a Sanyo (Mr. Herlien?)
Sorry for posting this to net, but I **can't** seem to get through to
"Herlien@drivax" by netmail. If you ain't him you can say "no" to more
and skip this one.
Sir,
Sorry to be so long in replying but I was trying various ways of getting
through to you by netmail & getting stymied left&right.
Much thanks for **your** prompt reply to my original posting. It's nice
to know there's people out there that like to help.
I was very impressed with your suggested solution to my mucked-up diskette
problem.
The only thing is, well, uh, <sheepish grin> I don't quite **understand** it.
I was a computer science major some couple of years ago, but in the intervening
time I've been a telecomm salesperson & don't do any systems work at all.
Which means I have no idea how to implement your suggested solution.
(In fact, I **did** understand it; that was an exaggeration. But I don't
know most of the CP/M tools you mentioned in your suggestion, and several
of the ones I knew about I'd never used.)
Is there any way I can get in touch with you to ask a few questions about
this? It seems that posting via the net would be both slow and rude to other
net.micro.cpm.readers, so if you can trace this back and give me a working
address (I can't seem to make it work from my end), or else send a phone no.
(mine's 415/823-5723 in the daytime, 522-6877 at home) I'd really much
appreciate it.
And, once again, thank you for the suggestion.
