From: Mike Ciaraldi <ciaraldi> I have some files I want to send to someone who has a Televideo 803 CP/M machine (no longer made, I believe). It has 5-inch double sided floppies, and I want to make floppies he can read. Does anyone know what the format of the 803 floppies is? Can an 803 read floppies from some other machine ? (e.g. Osborne, Xerox 820, etc.)? I got a disk from this fellow, and looked at it with Ultra-Utilities on the IBM PC, and it said that it had 18 sectors of 256 bytes each. But, sector 1 was missing on each track! I tried Media Master on the PC, a program that lets you read, write, and format disks from over a hundred different machines. The only Televideo it lists is for Turbodos, not CP/M. It can't read the disk this guy sent, and the one it formats for Televideo has 5 sectors of 1024 bytes each. so, what I am looking for is: Info on the Televideo format. Info on a program that might be able to produce a TV compatible disk. Info on other machines TV can read. or, someone with a Televideo that might let me modem to him. Thanks, Mike Ciaraldi seismo!rochester!ciaraldi
