Summary: J&M controllers


     I have heard that there are
problems using the J&M controller and
OS-9 under JDOS.  I think you might
be successful if you use Radio Shack
DOS.

     Also, as long as you are using
Color Computer format, I think you can
format with DSKINIn and then backup
your OS-9 disk under Radio Shack DOS's
backup command.  This is the recommended
backup procedure for all the floppy
disk software, such as Dynacalc, which
are actually OS-9 system disks.
Understandably, you'd probably want to
format and backup under OS-9, but this
much should help in the interim.  Note
that if format loads under OS-9, it's
been CRC verified and is not likely
to be the problem unless you have
updated the CRC manually at some point.
I'm assuming you haven't done this.

                    Cheers! -- Jim O.
