From: Robert L. Plouffe <PLOUFF@mit-mc> I had recommended that the ACKNAK flag be set to 'NO' in MDM17 as released by Irv Hoff so that sectors are repeated only upon receipt of a valid NAK or a timeout occurs. This works automatically in MDM716 since I had killed the ACKNAK flag. However Hoff tried to restore it in MDM717 and did it wrong. Setting ACKNAK to 'NO' has no effect (gives same as 'YES'). For those who have source and need a correction, the following three lines at GETACK are wrong: LDA AGETACK ORA A JZ ACKLUP Change to: LDA ACKNAK ORA A JZ GETACK1 Better yet, wait for MDM720 (and go back to MDM716 in the mean time). Ron Fowler is working on beta test version of 720 now and will have this as well as all the buffer discussion problems fixed plus new featyres..
