I have a Windows 98SE system setup with a 1.2mb 5.25" floppy drive
for running putr to create disks to use on my PDP-11/73 system. I
seem to remember someone suggesting that it was best to bulk erase
the DSDD 5.25" floppies before attempting to format and use them with
putr. Is that correct? I've been having trouble with putr and I'm
wondering if it is due to my failure to bulk erase the floppies
before using them.
Also, is it necessary to start Win98SE in "DOS mode" to run putr or
can putr be run from the DOS prompt from within Win98SE?
Thanks,
David
