Assuming DSK2FILE is lame (not hard to imagine considering the quality of free tools in general) and doesn't error out when it cannot write a sector, it could have been trying to write to each sector and failing for however many re-tries it was programmed to do so, which might explain why it took 10-15 minutes. It should have also assumed the disk is not formatted and formatted it for you, or at least it should tell you that you need to format the target disk in advance. At any rate, try formatting your target disk and then run DSK2FILE. If that doesn't work, find another program to write the image to disk, or write your own ;) -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
