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.
