 I seem to remember that you can't make a bootable LDOS disk by just 
 copying the files onto it, and that some of the files have to be in the 
 right place (or their directory entries do). 

Thanks.  I'll have to check it out.

  What version of TRS-DOS are you running at the
moment?

I think it's 1.3.  It's on an old Mortgage investment program disk that's
been sitting in my garage loft for three years (temperature ranges from -10
to 120 degrees F).  I'm surprised that it even worked.

the opposite (allow TRS-80s

    to read/write MS-DOS disks). No idea where you'd
get that from now,  though.

 Do you remember what the name of it is?  
 TRSCROSS, I think. Maybe HYPERCROSS (I think they were both programs to 
 read 'foreign' disks on the TRS-80). 
  O.K.  I'll try  to see if I can find it or not.  Was there a program that
would let you run Apple ][ Programs?  I have about 100 program disks
without a working apple (I actually have a Franklin 2000).  Or does the
disk controller thing come into play?
