- Dave, Well you had the right answer to the problem of the DJ
- controller not being able to copy from 1024 byte sectors to 128 byte
- sectors. The 1791 was indeed the culprit. The controller that came
- with the board was a Fujitsu 8866 and not a 1791. It follows Morrows
- habit of using cheaper chips that don't match what's on the schematic.
- Replacing the 1791 also cured another problem with SYSGEN. SYSGENing
- would work a little better than 50% of the time. Now it never fails.
- It would never get off the first track and just hang the system.
- Obviously the same problem as the 1st. track is single density. Well,
- thanks again for steering me in the right direction.

- Tim.
