BIOS options exist to read 256-byte sectors. When I initially got a C compiler for a PC, one of my first projects was to try to read an OS-9 disk. I was never able to get the transfer to work right. (On the other hand, I hadn't got used to PC programming yet back then!) So the answer is "yes, it's possible, at least in theory." There was a package from OwlWare a while ago that ran on MS-DOS and read and wrote Disk BASIC and OS-9 floppies. -- Stephen Trier Case Western Reserve University Work: trier@cwlim.ins.cwru.edu Information Network Services Home: sct@seldon.clv.oh.us %% Any opinions above are my own. %%
