[Coco] OS-9 -modded CCDISK for D/S drives...problem!?

[Chad H]

Sorry I don't have OMNIFLOP on my PC.  I am running MS-DOS 6.22 with actual
5.25" drive.  DSKINI, RETRIEVE and OS9 have always accessed my floppies
flawlessly until I started formatting them on the CoCo under OS9 with the
modded CCDISK.

For now I've given up on the CCDISK mod.  Yea, it works without problems on
the CoCo itself...just the problem of accessing disks formatted by it on the
PC.

I took one step back to the last OS9 setup I had (replacing the CCDISK with
RB1773 from NitrOS9 and using the D0/D1 from NitrOS9).  I only sacrificed 2
memory pages by doing this.  Still sitting at 160 free from MFREE prompt at
boot.

Chad, have you tried to run OMNIFLOP on your PC. It's a freeware prtogramme 
that will read Colour Computer disks, PROVIDED you have a 5.25" drive in 
your PC.

Failing that, can you re-create a dump of sector 0 of one of these disks 
that appears to fail to be recognised by the RETRIEVE command?

To do a dump under OS9, use this command line:

dump /d0@

be sure to have page pause ON (tmode pause)

Regards, Bob Devries
