Subject: trouble with 22dsk, Xenocopy, etc.

Hi All,

A few days ago, I wrote -

Just thought I'd summarize for any others having problems: it appears that
reading 40 track disks in HD disk drives can give problems. Of course, my CP/M
machines have ~10-year old drives, so alignment is not perfect anyway. Using a
HD mechanism makes it even more critical. The solutions that worked for me:
- use a new(er) version of 22dsk. It supports ATs these days. - use normal
360k
drives, who needs these new-fangled HD things anyway :)

And, best of all:
- format the disks on the AT, then use these disks on the CP/M machines.
22disk
will have no problems reading the disks after that.

Thanks to all who helped!


Groeten,

           Oscar
