Teledisk not working - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

5 Apr 2001

Robert,

   Thanks for your comments but I don't think the problem is the disks.
I've also tried Tektronix 8160 disks, Osborne 1 and Osborne Executive
disks, Morrow disks and some others and I get the same results with all of
them. The only disks that I've ever been able to archive are MS-DOS disks!

 I have a copy of Teledisk, but have not used it, so my
comments might not be
on the mark. But, I have used other disk format copy programs and know that
they have trouble copying Kaypro disks unless the source disk was formated
on the target (non-Kaypro) computer. Apparently the Kaypro (and also Zorba)
format had some strange features. Might the unusual formatting be the source
of Joe's problems?

 Bruce,

   I just tried Teledisk again with the SAME results. This time I used two
known good Kaypro 2 disks. Teledisk copied them to files with no
complaints. TDChck said that the files were OK. However each file was only
281 bytes in size. When I tried to make disks from the files it said that
the data had a CRC error.
