"sector not found" is usually an error with a diskette.
not handling that disk format would usually give you, "general failure"

Why not simply
hook up a 3.5" drive (DSHD is fine)? Get a DS2D
diskette by covering over the density aperture in a DSHD diskette and
format it up to 720K on your modern PeeCee using "format a: /n:9
/t:80". Write whatever you want to it and let the Commo read it.
The PC5
will not recognise a 3.5" disk, even using driver.sys to set the
parameters it always gives a "device
not ready" error. Alternatively,
hook up a 360K 5.25" to your modern PeeCee and call it
a 1.44MB drive--format the blanks in your PC5 and your modern PC will
write them just fine.
No go, 3 different machines, 5 different drives - all the
same error -
"Sector not found".
