Hi,

I tried to read it, but using capitals and paragraphs might help (+ I don't know I guess..)

I've got the same problem with 360Kb disks
it is because the pc drive don't write 360Kb disks, only the 720KB
There are programs for MSX to write the *.dsk files to disk

LS120: if I understand correctly, in contrast to the subject, you do not have problems with DSK files.... but with your disk drive. Is that correct?

On Linux it works fine for me... It's on the FAQ how to do it. I have no experience on other OS'es.

For Ren;
ok guys what i'm having problems with is that i had alot of 720k fdd's and wanted to put some DSK files to the 360k msx floppys,

i formated 5 to MSX 360k on the MSX 738, put them in to a pc running win xp, run disk manager 0.15 and loaded an image.

then told disk manager to write the 360k disk. it then told me could not find track 0, so cancled and said format and copy, this thim it did it fine.

so to test i booted it on the MSX and it worked fine.. i did this 4 more times and all going good..

the problem comes now that when i format a fdd in the MSX 738 i get disk error on every disk i have tried (20 so far) i did get 2 to format on the MSX but when i put in pc and run Disk manager it gets to 50% and stops..

what do you thinks is the problem???

i have changed the FDD with another MSX 738 drive (360k original) both drives will read disks fine..

also if i try to do a disk copy of the original msx dos disk in the 738 it copys and then ask's for disk b: but when i put in disk b: and press any key it just sits there..

help please.....
