Jeff's dskini.exe program copies a .dsk file to a real CoCo disk, am I 
correct?  I was hoping that John's version did the same.
However, I have tried Jeff's under XP and it will not work.  The drives 
lock up or aren't recognized, or something to that degree.

Maybe the BIOS has these routines in it that would let a program bypass 
Windows XP's constraints on the older floppy drives?

Geez, this is all my IDE needs to put the cherry on the cake (besides an 
EPROM programmer, ready to go)... is the ability to call on a dskini.exe or 
os9tools.exe type utility to make a real CoCo floppy of your software.


What versions of Windows supports Jeff's dskini.exe utility?
