[The basenote discusses using ST disks in MSDOS machines, and the troubles thereof]. I've had trouble under TOS 1.4 with Toshiba disks as well -- double sided, MS-DOS, DOS 3.3, off a Toshiba 1200HB. One time I read a file into the ST, and got the 1st sector repeated for the length of the file. Many times directory changes (cd) fail or act weirdly. I always have to ARC (to get a quick & dirty CRC) to make sure the file transferred ... it's that flaky. I've been told that Toshibas do something especially strange that makes things worse, but do not recall the details. -- thanks, Dave / Gadgets
