Hi,
While I have thrown another computer into the electronic recycle pile, I
have not given up yet.
My Win95 Mitac computer which was giving all the read errors on the OS-9
floppies suddenly turned the screen white-green.
May it RIP.
-----------------------
Starting over, I booted my Win XP computer using a Win 98 SE boot floppy and
recopied the disks using "OS9" this time.
Remember, I keep telling others to use John's instead of Jeff's MSDOS
emulator "RETRIEVE".
I should have follow my own advise!
I am not saying that I now have good copies, but three of the four disks
were copied to an OS-9 80T2S disk.
I had a copy of that disk on my Vista computer but looking at it, it was
short.
So, I think that I have a full copy of that disk now, but I am getting a 214
error????
Anyway, with what I think is a copy is the fourth disk, I think I have a
complete set.
But one that may need to be put together from parts as the copies on the
80T2S disk are of course not bootable.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
What is the MSDOS command to "CHX" after booting from a floppy?
I just cannot remember.
More later, I need to think about how to proceed.
