Making CP/M disk images

I'm trying to do the same thing with some (downloaded) Teledisk images for an Altos 580 server which has a similar 96tpi floppy with no luck (a plea for help here). My limited understanding is that these drives use double density media and that a standard 1.2 mb drives don't work too well with that (the manuals all say that writing out 360k AKA 40 track disks on a 1.2mb is a bad thing). Did you take the drive in the SB180 and put it in the Compaq, still calling it a 1.2, 360k or even a 720k 3.5? I tried that with a different (SA-465) 96tpi drive jumpered as drive 1 and it seemed to write disks with no reported problems on the Teledisk write. The Altos still didn't like the disk though but that might be a function of the original files (or something else I forgot to do).

These are DSDD disks formatted on the SB180 machine using the "40 track" option. The drive in the SB180 is a 96TPI drive (HD) and the disk on the PC side is a standard 1.2mb. I'll have to see if Teledisk has any options that may address this. As I recall, the number of configurable options was sparse, though.
