[comp.os.cpm] Diskette problem

DBRAATAN@NORUNIT.BITNET (Dag Henrik Braatane) (02/05/88)

  - - The original note follows - -

I have just received the ConIX operating system for my Bondwell 2
CP/M computer. Computer Helper Industries could not deliver
the diskette format for my computer, so I got KAYPRO DSDD 5 1/4 inch
diskettes instead. I thought I could use the CONVERT.EXE program on
my IBM-PC to read this format. (It kan read Kaypro 2, 2X, 4, 10 formats.)
But it didnt work. I get a disk error message all the time. I have
tried to remove resident programs, and CONFIG.SYS at startup, but
nothing seems to help.

               P L E A S E, someone,  H E L P...

If you can get ahold of Micro Solutions Uniform (about $ 100), it
should be able to read/write both formats on your IBM-PC.
