Whew! I thought I was the only one with a problem like that! What I am looking for is some way of reading 40 tracks of 18 sectors/track, 256 bytes/ sector. I am almost positive I have seen a program that read these disks before, but I can't remember what it was... If anyone out there either has or knows the program, or has some Turbo-C code, or knows where to get any of the above, I'd be so happy to get that info! I'm getting desperate! :-) Thanks in advance! -- Mark "Emerson" Chadwick ncc1701@rpi.edu or usergdes@rpitsmts.bitnet "It has come to the attention of management that employees have been dying on the job.
