Any chance some kind soul could send a few of the best of
the Orchestra-90 SIG to me? I never had a CompuServe
account, and so my Orchestra-90 board tends to sit around
and do nothing a lot...

Also, a question for all the TRSDOS wizards. I recently
found a copy of Microsoft's muMath mathematics program (for
the Model I) and the patches (from the Dec. 82 80 Micro) to
get it on a Model III.  Unfortunately, for some really
strange reason, such as the way the disk controller
formatted these disks makes it impossible to read them with
convert, super utility, or practically anything else on a
Model III.  Right now, I'm trying to find some old friends
with I's with disks to get the programs on a disk that I can
read, but until then, can anyone tell me what ezzactly
causes the problem? I was told it was that the 1771 disk
controller marks sectors with a different set of bytes,
making the 1791 ignore it all, and as such is a hardware
problem. 
                                  Thanks in advance,

                                                 Robert Bowdidge
