It definitely said "Error 0x2000" in the top left hand corner. I just checked the ref guide at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/libc-2.02/ and 0x20 (in AH) means "Controller failure". Hmmm....
If I remember rightly, the program gave 9 boxes and an X for each track. My SAM certainly did not like booting the resulting disks... Failing any attempt at getting this (work's) computer to do anything right, can someone tell me the format of .dsk and how it maps to a real disk using something like WRITE AT statements in BASIC. If I have to, I'll split the .dsk file into 2 400K blocks and get my SAM to write out the damn disk!!!! I'm determined to play with these utilities and games that I downloaded whether it kills me or not!!!!
