I just started playing with my PCT card again after buying the simulation
TRACON.  Problem is, I installed the PCT system software 1.3 (and can't seem
to find 1.2 of course) and find that I can't read from the Transdrive 5.25
under MS-DOS though I can use it as a ProDOS drive.  This makes me think the
hardware set-up is fine but that perhaps somethings wrong with my
configuration either of MS-DOS or the PCT system software.  At boot time the
floppy spins ok (I boot from HD) but once in MS-DOS if I try to access A: all
I get are GENERAL ERROR ON A errors.  Can't even format a blank floppy from
MS-DOS though I can from ProDOS.  This was working before the upgrade in PCT
system software but don't know if it's a problem with the software update or
my configuration thereof.  The other problem I had was with the update I
couldn't figure out how to get the new system files off the small MSDOSVOL
file and into my 10 megabyte MSDOSVOL so I don't know if this is my problem or
not.  Anyone have any ideas?
