Rogelio,

The size and crc are the same as those on my Tandy disk cat.# 700-2331. I've not 
tried what you did so don't know if the clock code is bad and the error 
reproducible.

Why don't you update to the NitrOS-9 Level-1 Coco1 system code. The disks for 
several nos96809l1coco1 .dsk images are readily available.
