I have a new Zenith Z-181 (which is a great compatible portable) which is
having problems reading its floppy disks. The original systems disks work
flawlessly, but when I try to read copies (onto Polaroid disks which have
been formatted on the same drives), they read once then freeze up until the
drive is reset by opening and closing it. It seems like the problem could
be with the drives, the Polaroid floppies, with the formatting program, or
with some synergistic combination of them. It is NOT program-dependent.
Has anyone else had problems with MS-DOS 3.2 formatting, Zenith's
drives, or with Polaroid 3-1/2" disks? Is there anything I could try to work
around whatever the problem may be?
