I regularly run TeleDisk v2.12 and 2.22 (though I started with v1.05) on
a 386 all-in-one card (passive backplane) using its onboard controller
with an out of the box Teac FD55-GFR 1.2mb drive. Other drives - 360k,
3" Hitachi (for Amstrad disks), and 8" Mitsubishi half-high run with a
CompatiCard IV. Copying and reproduction of RX50 disks on the GFR drive
have been no problem.
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)! 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.
For a given version that was available as shareware, there was no
difference between that and the commercial item.
