What's happening is that my Pentium system

the old SS disks. Does anyone know why?
No, but Sydex wrote a shareware MS-DOS device driver that used to be
available on simtel.net's MS-DOS collection, which supposedly allowed
the reading and maybe writing of HP150 stiffies in a PC stiffy drive.
Sad to say, I couldn't get it to work on my Toshiba notebook PC
(MS-DOS 6.22) for purposes of reading a single-sided HP150 stiffy.
You might have better luck.
