Summary: OS9 Level II 80 Track Drive Problems



I seem to recall someone else complaining about the fact that the 80 Track
device descriptor causes problems with the CC3Disk driver.  I am also
experiencing difficulties.

A disk may be formatted using the 80 track double sided descriptor.  The
first DIR (or CHD or whatever) seems to work OK.  After reading or writing
to the disk once or twice, the whole thing goes off the deep end and
Error #244 (read errors) are generated.  Does anyone (ahem Microware)
know what is going on?
