Subject: Trouble with 22dsk, Xenocopy etc.

Hi All,

I have been trying to get 22disk, Xenocopy and some other, comparable
CP/M disk converters to run on my 386 clone for weeks now, but they all
fail to work. I spent most of my effort on 22disk, which reports a
'drive not ready' after it starts to read the CP/M disk that was
supposed to be converted. The drive starts spinning for a second or so,
then the error message appears and the drive stops.

This happens with disks from all kinds of CP/M machines (Cromemco,
Superbrain, Epson, IBM CP/M 86). It also happens when I try to format an
alien disk. Once, just once, I got it working for a few minutes, but
that was all.

Is there something I don't know? Fidgeting with BIOS settings and
drivparm didn't help me. Do you need some special disk controller? My
clone is equipped with one of the newer multi I/O cards.

Well, in short: Help!


Groeten,

           Oscar
