I have tried it with two 1.2Mb drives and one 360k drive. I haven't
changed the controller since my video card, HD controller and ports are all
on the same card. I would have to rebuild the system to replace that card. the same kind of errors that you're getting.
I've tried Teledisk with
at
least 50 different disks (most KNOWN good) and at
least 6 different data
formats but the ONLY thing it will copy is MS_DOS disks. I've given up
on
it. I've already tried everything that
everyone has suggested and I'm
fed
What your havent tried is differnt controllers and different drives. I found an old
486 or 386 machine to be less troublesome and also
has fewer preconceived notions of the world. Also I ran dos not
windows(any version)!
Absolutely! I run everything that I can in DOS mode. Also I'm using
a 486-100. FWIW I've run lots of other weird file conversion SW should
as the HP LIF utilities with no problems. I also used a lot of odd
interfaces (on occasion) in it and I've had no problem with them.
I have a couple more old PCs laying around for parts. I need to try
Teledisk on them but I'm so discusted with it that I haven't bothered.

I was able to make Venix disks for my Pro many
years ago and also
OS278 (also rx50). What I had to do however was to play with the
jumpers on a TEAC FD55GFV (the verseion with many jumpers)
to lock out the 1.2mb mode.
I may add My experience is with the older (must be at least 6 years old)
copy of the freeware version of teledisk not the full bore commercial.
