Frank, The way the computer reads disks is comtrolled by the disk controller. In the KAYPRO, the disk controller is unable to read anything not written on a KAYPRO, so you would have to change the hardware, not the software to be able to read other disk formats. The Osborne Double Density option allows one to read other disk formats because the drive controller ROM has the instructions on how to do this.. If the Kaypro has an EPROM in the disk controller, you might be able to re- program it, but It would be very difficult to do so. The easiest way to do file transfer would be to have an Ozzie or PC hard-wired to each other and send files through the ports. Jon Albers jalbers@bnl
