I can copy the disks onto a 3.5 inch using dos but when I try to copy from that back to my 5.25 inch I am getting disk errors. I assume that these errors are do to the different format of the CP/M O-S my machine uses. The format for the machine is defined as 10 sectors/track, 512 bytes/sector, and 2 system tracks. If anyone knows how I can format my disks to those specifications, where I can find a machine to do the straight copy on, or any relevant info please drop me a line ASAP.
