Yes that is the one I'm talking about. It was
suppose to be system disk
two but it's plan.com(multiplan)more of an application. I do have the
new hard formatted and will let Dave what the problem is so we can
resolve it or just educate me. I'm doing the reload now so I'm off and
running I was able to find a hdskfmt program that did format it. I'm not
totally sure about the size or version so I'll get back to everyone with
k10. I did try the hdskfmt on disk one and it just failed after hitting
the new drive. It looked like it expected a formated hard drive and
found one that wasn't. This new one I used hit the drive and then
formated each track and then verified it. The
HDSKFMT.COM on image disk
one I had used two times before on a failing drive and it never
formatted the drive and only verified the disk as all the files on the
drive were still there after it finished. The new(used) ST225 which I
got which was verified to be good and but needed a low level format. Let
me look into it more and I'll get back to everyone and in the mean time
I can offer help to other K10 users possibly . Ralph is sending me a
kayplus eprom to try so I'll be able to use the entire disk space. I
really need to get my S-100 eprom burner working.
As you indicated Dave one just made a image of there newer hard drive
system and not the older floppy system disk that came with the unit. I'm
glad to have the newer images as someone took alot of time creating
them. These are version G which I believe was the last version offered.
I'll create a image and sent it to you Dave and we can label it other
utilities maybe. I'll use your image program(IMD) and not the TD0 format
as that seem to be more stable
That would be excellent - As I noted above, I don't have a K10 or any of
the disks that are represented by the images, so I can't really change
whats there, however if you can provide an image with the better
HDSKFMT program and any other extra material you have rounded
up that would be good. Also, if you have any notes on what you had to
do and where you had to find/put things please include them (as a
TXT file) and I will add it to the archive as well - this might save someone
else a lot of time.
Dave
