[Coco] OS-9 DS floppy config - SUCCESS!

[Chad Hendon]

Wow.. that's very interesting.  Does it also set to 40 tracks and 6ms stepping?  If so, I might go back and try rebuilding my disk with the CCDISK instead of the RB1773 to see if it gives me any extra free ram at boot.

Hi all,

for anyone who is interested, I found the original patch file to modify CCDISK from the Level 1 V2.0.0 distribution to read/write/format double-sided disks. It was featured in The Rainbow October 1988, pp 156. I don't have that issue now, so I can't say who wrote it (unless I download it from maltedmedia)

* Patches Level I Ver. 2
* CCDisk to read, write
* and format both single
* and double sided disks
* Rainbow, Oct '88, p 157
