[comp.sys.amiga] Chatterbox & DiskTalk...

Is it just my machine that these won't run on?  

--- Chatterbox ---
When I run chatterbox (just like the docs say) I get an error.  the window
chatterbox creates is there and so is the title bar.  Just everytime I put a
disk in, I get a "not a DOS disk" error.  Now, I figure that chatterbox, while
waiting for "diskin" or "diskout" (the only two options I was using), somehow
screwed up the drives.  When I exited chatterbox, operation resumed perfectly.
I mailed Karl L. (the author - I could try to spell (read: butcher) his last 
name, but I doubt I could even come close) but I haven't heard anything from
him.

--- DiskTalk ---
I run DiskTalk just like the docs say (all 1.5K of them!) and I get the title
bar and everyting's okay.  BUT, when I put in a disk (or take one out) nothing
happens.  NOTHING.

I have a 3 meg 2000.  (1M fast/1Mchip).  The machine is about 2 weeks old. (fat
agnus, etc.)
I boot off a regular WB1.3 disk but interrupt the startup-sequence. I then run
the program.
Am I doing something wrong?  Is it to much to ask that my disk drives belch and
moan?

Thanks,
AMH
