Ah, so it can't read the 10th sector. I think you need the special version of FDREAD to allow access to the 10th sector... > I'm determined to play with these utilities and games that I > downloaded whether it kills me or not!!!! I've been using Aley's 2SAD.EXE with the -s option to convert from .DSK to the normal uncompressed .SAD files, then using his SBK.EXE with the 'r' command to write it back out to a real floppy. All best done from real DOS or Command-prompt only mode outside Win9x (not on NT!). Both those utilities can be found in: ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/sam-coupe/emulation/simcoupe/SimCoupe079_DOS.zip It shouldn't be long before you can do it all from within WinCoupe, by selecting the source .DSK image in one drive and the real floppy drive in the other, then just doing a normal SAM disk copy between them...
