But there is some problem on the Atari side. After using the dc format to write ms-dos boot sectors, the GEM file selectors often cannot recognize the directory of the disk correctly. (It shows garbge). But from the desktop everything works fine. (Copying and deleting files work ok) In program like First Word which makes use of the file selector it doesn't display the directory correctly and access to some files become impossible. Does anyone know why? (This happens in a 520st with tos 1.0).
