Hello. Well, after about two months of work, I FINALLY managed to get my S-100 system up and running. It's an Ithaca Audio CPU w/ a Tarbell single density disk controller. The system works pretty well, I was able to load up almost all of the disks that I got w/ the system. However, the format program won't work. I've recompiled it twice from the original source code, and all it does is move the head to track 0 and go in a HLT condition. Is it possible that there is something wrong w/ the drive? It can't be the program, as it was used by the previous owner many times, and gave him no problems... Any ideas?
