This matter has come up before, in the context of Kaypro and other formats that
are not precisely reproducible with a PC (NEC 765-based) controller. Apparently
it's possible to format a diskette in a PC that can be read and written in a
Kaypro but formatting the same format in a Kaypro produces results unreadable in
a PC. I'm not sure of the details, not being a Kaypro owner.

I have a copy of Teledisk, but have not used it, so my
comments might not be
on the mark. But, I have used other disk format copy programs and know that
they have trouble copying Kaypro disks unless the source disk was formated
on the target (non-Kaypro) computer. Apparently the Kaypro (and also Zorba)
format had some strange features. Might the unusual formatting be the source
of Joe's problems?

Bruce,
I just tried Teledisk again with the SAME results. This time I used two
known good Kaypro 2 disks. Teledisk copied them to files with no
complaints. TDChck said that the files were OK. However each file was only
281 bytes in size. When I tried to make disks from the files it said that
the data had a CRC error.
