I was wondering if i should post a message asking if PMFS even works. I have tried the posted version on my 286 to a 520 and all the atari side just locks up. With DEBUG defined i see that pmfsu is getting checksum errors and re-trying. With the most recently posted version, it gets a checksum, and then does not re-try. I have sent mail to the author, but have not received a response. Has anyone been able to get PMFS to work between a 286 with SCO Xenix and a ST? I tried can do Zmodem at 19.2K, but i brought the baud down to 4800 with the same results. I think that the 286 side is creating a P.disk with bytes that are swapped as far as the atari end is concerned. > I've got a cleaner version that the media change now works and I > can also work at 19200 Baud now.

I have no idea what qstauto is, i lost everything i had when the harddrive crashed and i can't afford a new drive. > > | UUCP: ...ccicpg!dl2!paulm | Paul L.
