How odd. I've formatted a disk on an XT, put files on it, and was able to them with my 1040. I've even taken files off of the 1040 and put them onto the XT (documents).

I do a lot of transfering around between systems. I've found that when the disk is formatted on the PC with MS-DOG 3.2, the ST can read-write the floppies fine if both systems only use the root directory. For some reason if a mkdir is done on the PC, the ST sometimes can't find the directory or the files in it. And occasionally, TOS will make the disk unusable be both systems when I try to copy a new file to the disk. -- +------ David Beckemeyer - Beckemeyer Development Tools --------+ | US Mail: 478 Santa Clara Ave, Oakland, CA 94610 | | UUCP: ...!ihnp4!hoptoad!bdt!david | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
