Ok, so some good news ... I used ImageDisk to convert Steve's image to IMD format, then to write the image, and it worked.
Teledisk is giving me the creeps - it just doesn't seem to operate consistently on my hardware. At one point it reported that it was writing a 48 TPI image on a 96 TPI drive, which would explain why the DVI booted from the diskette but then crashed while loading disk BASIC. On an original IBM Portable XT which I can guarantee does not have 96 TPI drives. Other times it reported sector gaps on the good boot disk, which makes no sense. I've used it for years so I'm very confused right now ... Moving on to having some fun with the M102 and DVI!
