Yes, I understand what the commands are but I think my computer dosn't. Let me go through the procedure and see if you can find any thing wrong.
1. I have downloaded file 5501_1.zip from the W30.msoft...
2. I unziped it and got file 5501_1.out It is 1.44k
3. I put 5501_1.out onto a 1.44 floppy. The details command will not let me use any other drive other than A or B. My computer has A,C,D, and E drives.
4. I start my computer in msdos mode and run SDisk. it comes up with the command screen.
5. I type "5501_1.out" and select A.
6. The command screen returns.
7. I type R and a fuel gage comes up and working is displayed. I also get the proper responses in the activity line at the bottom.
8. When completed, I remove the 1.44 disk in the A drive and place in a DD disk. I then select Write in the menue and get the response "disk to small/large for file" and everything comes to a halt.
I have tried a 1.44k disk, with a taped over hole, in the write process with no better results. I did notice that the 5501_1.out file gets changed from 1.44k to a 720k file
I think that because I cannot specify a drive other than A is my main problem. I think I cannot see the trees because of the forest.
Is it because it is too simple?
