I do a lot of transfering around between systems. I've found that when the disk is formatted on the PC with MS-DOG 3.2, the ST can read-write the floppies fine if both systems only use the root directory. For some reason if a mkdir is done on the PC, the ST sometimes can't find the directory or the files in it. And occasionally, TOS will make the disk unusable be both systems when I try to copy a new file to the disk. -- +------ David Beckemeyer - Beckemeyer Development Tools --------+ | US Mail: 478 Santa Clara Ave, Oakland, CA 94610 | | UUCP: ...!ihnp4!hoptoad!bdt!david | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
