Update: I was able to copy a known good Universal ROM boot disk and

understand why the read of the disk tries and fails to read tracks 41-80
with doublestepping on. I also don't understand why running td02imd on
k10fload.td0 didn't create a good imd file I can use with the utility.
I guess I need a HD read k10fload boot disk image in IMD format.

When you create 360/1.2M disks by formatting on the PC - can you then
read and recreate those disks with IMD?
I tried reading and then recreating a DOS
360K disk. Worked fine.
It even seemed to read a known good Kaypro disk. But, I tried writing
it out with no luck. It did, though, write it out with no errors, so
I think I have two issues. One is that the K10FLOAD.TD0 file that I
converted to an IMD did not convert correctly, and the other is a lack
of correct settings on IMD.
When I read my known good DSDD Kaypro boot disk, I set tracks to 80,
stepping to double, and sides to 2. But, IMD tries to read all the
way up to track 80, when I thought it would stop at 40 (80 tracks,
double stepped).
But, when I set retry to 0, and it goes all the way up there, I still
don't have a good copy.
