They (and Borland) do not support my machine's disk format. So what I've been doing is buying software in the Osborne format, and having a friend of mine, who owns Unidos, convert to my format. Recently, TUG dropped the Osborne format, so now I'm ordering in the Kaypro format. I did get a utility with my machine that lets me re-configure my drives to anything that CP/M can be configured for without special hardware. This means that if I can get the SPT, BSH, etc. and the 1st sector ID, Density, etc. for the Osborne and the Kaypro, then I don't have to wait for a couple of months when my friend's machine isn't busy on a day that I have free. If anyone knows what the formats are, or if there's a product for CP/M machines like Unidos, please e-mail the information to me. Thanks. -- ================================================================================ Mike Bird (These opinions are mine, dammit!)
