I had the same problem. I found that I had a virus on all my atari disks. It is called the Key virus, and you are more likely than not to have it also. It can be eradicated with Vkiller, available from terminator (new version just came out). Also, I use a program called PS2FORM, gotten from panarthea to format my disks for IBM use. It might also be on terminator. You must get rid of the virus if you have it, or any IBM disk will be unreadable after insertion in the Atari (only unreadable on the IBM's, the atari will not complain). This drove me nuts for awhile, and it feels nice to be virus free. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey Boyd | "Nobody can be exactly like me.
