I've been having problems with Pcpatch and the pccopy/pcformat
utilities.  On the msdos machine I formated (360K) a double
sided/density disk and copied a bunch of files there.  When I use
pcpatch to read the disk it seems to get the first 3K or so and then
reads a bunch of garbage.  I also tried using pcformat with the patch
and it fails claiming the 3.5in disk cannot be formatted.

I suspect that I should be using a different density disk but if so
which one?

Also, I tried DOStoDOS with 2 different msdos disks and it failed at
about the same place as pcpatch did.

Any suggestions?


Thanx
