I have heard that you should format the floppy on the same drive that you intend to do your file writing with. Try formating the disk on the Atari using DC Format or some other utility that allows you to use the IBM boot sector. Then try again. Most of my transfers are done in the opposite direction from what you want. That is, I format the floppy with format B: /N:9 /T:80 on the HP to get a 720 K format. Then I write the files on the HP. When I take the disk home, I can read them without trouble. I hope that this helps. Regards, Ron Abramson phone: (208) 323-4293 email: rona@hpdml92.HP.COM uucp: hplabs!hpdml92!rona
