Sims University of N.C. Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 Dave, Your artical ref the Rev. to ROM 310654-03, was most interesting. I woul like to response to some of the items you have called out. First, however, my equipment here, is a C128 (2) 1571's (1) 1541. I am using the C128 for this function now (Unix). ITEM REMARKS -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 I have this happen in the C/PM mode. 2 I have not noticed the problem. 3 I have tried to load locked files with no success. 4 /TSTATN/ device not present has happen lots of the time, both in the 128 mode and in the C/PM mode. (I am using two 1571 drives). 5 I have not noticed this problem. 6 I have expperienced this, when formating a disk for double sided. 7 I have not noticed this problem. 8 I have not notice this problem since I am not using dual disk drives. 9 I have not noticed this problem. 10 I have noticed this, but has not been a problem for me. 11 I have not noticed this problem. 12 I have not noticed this problem. 13 I have not noticed this problem. 14 I have experienced this, however this has not showned to be a problem with me. I hope this will help you in some of the bugs and anomolies in the 1571. Now that you are about to remedie these problems, what will I have to do to get the ROM chips. Would it be possible to get the necessary CHIPS to remedie my problems. I would be happy to make a report back to you as to the effect it has with my setup. Best Regards, Bill Sims (ubsims@ecsvax)
