[comp.sys.tandy] Help needed with annoying floppies

jmh@coyote.uucp (John Hughes) (12/18/90)

I'm having all kinds of fun with 8" floppies on a 6000 system. I'm
trying to install the 3.02 developement system (actually, I'm trying
to reinstall it, but I don't care to talk about it...). When I
attempt to access the diskettes, I get a hard error BE10, at track 0
side 1, sector 2. On each disk that fails the error is the same. A
friend also has the dev. system, and his machine gets the *exact*
same error message with his disks. His diskettes also produce
the same error on my box. What the hell is going on? Why can I read
any one of the other 50 diskettes I have just fine, but not the
factory Tandy diskettes?

Before you say it's the Tandy diskettes, get this: I have backup
copies of the upgrade diskettes, and.... that's right - the same
exact error.

Am I missing something here, or what?

Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated.
