I was trying to help a co-worker with her Zenith Supersport286e laptop using DOS 3.3. She is saving files in WordPerfect 5.1 to her 3.5 A: drive so she can transfer them to her IBM 50Z w/ DOS 5.0. Occasionally, she will work on a file and save it to the disk but when she tries to retrieve it, on the IBM, it gives a disk error 23. The file is not even readable on the Zenith. I have to use Norton Diskfix to recover the corrupted file. We only use high density disks so that is not a problem. I ran diagnostics on both diskdrives and found no errors. This problem happens randomly, and I am not able to recreate it. I heard that Zenith and IBM are not very compatible. But this problem only started recently. Is this true, or just a rumor? Is the differences in OS versions a possible problem? I appreciate any comments or suggestions. -Mac -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- K. E.
