It seems that TOS gets the nybbles wrong. (you know that wierd 12 bit fat they have), anyone else have experience with this one. While I'm on the subject, most formatters I have don't cope well with bad sectors, does anyone know of one that does do bad sector mapping properly ??? BOB R.Lunnon@qut.edu.au
