I have a copy of Teledisk, but have not used it, so my

they have trouble copying Kaypro disks unless the source disk was formated

format had some strange features. Might the unusual formatting be the source
of Joe's problems?

I have been using TeleDisk for 10 years - since v1.05 and have never had
a problem copying or reproducing Kaypro (or Zorba) disks. The only CP/M
disks ( that immediately occur to me ) that choke it up are Altos
8" SS/DSDD disks which are apparently in M2FM format.

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.
