- Just thought I'd summarize for any others having problems: it appears that
- reading 40 track disks in HD disk drives can give problems. Of course, my CP/M
- machines have ~10-year old drives, so alignment is not perfect anyway. Using a
- HD mechanism makes it even more critical. The solutions that worked for me:
- - use a new(er) version of 22dsk. It supports ATs these days. - use normal
- 360k
- drives, who needs these new-fangled HD things anyway :)
-
- And, best of all:
- - format the disks on the AT, then use these disks on the CP/M machines.
- 22disk
- will have no problems reading the disks after that.
-
- Thanks to all who helped!

- Groeten,
