Hi Bob,

     I kinda thought that I should choose 40 track.  I want to let you know, 
I'm sooooo new to OS9 that I might be considered a preschooler. You've got your
work cut out for you.

     Before I start, what is OSK?  Now, after reconfig, I formatted a disk in
/d1, all went well, showed number of sectors in a strange format and showed
much free space avail under the FREE command.

     Went to format /d3 and get Error msg #221, Format /devname , etc. 
Found in book to call /d3 (/d1 2), like calling it drive 1.5. Am I right so
far?  Anyway get Error #207.  If I try to reformat /d1, get Error #207.  Must
be rewrite protect, for both sides??  Does this mean Drive 3 was formatted
along with Drive 1.

     I just love getting in over my head!!  Also, I can't open Help file or
Error msg. file.  I'm sure everyone but me knows.

     Well, what do you think.  HAVE A NICE EASTER BOB.

     Thanks - -
