I used diskcopy to copy the originals to the backups alos using the model 30 as the copy platform. My problem is this: I tried to get my zenith 386sx to read the disks and install the program and the install program refuses to recognize the PROGRAM/DICTIONARY disk. DOS will get a dir from that disk, copy files, chkdsk for bad sectors(none) but the PM INSTALL program wont read the disk. WHY?????? I tried to use a friends model 50 (IBM PS/2) and his machine would not read the second disk either. All three machines read the INSTALL disk but only my model 30 will read the other needed diskettes. Help would be deeply appreciated -- He who will not reason, is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not is a slave. --- Sir William Drummond Michael Lanham mjlanham@eos.ncsu.edu & jumper@.catt.ncsu.edu
