Checked the crc of format; I've got the right one in the ROMs. I've got another
one, format.2.3, in my cmds dir, but I don't think it ever gets accessed. Yes,
I've had my share of weirdness with floppies. The various drivers, etc. have
been checked out and verified as "the latest". Someone suggested a cable
problem, but I made up a new one awhile ago and that's not made a difference. I
have ordered a 2nd drive (gosh, haven't those prices gone down...) and will see
if that changes anything. One other strangeness I've found is that if I os9gen
a new disk the process fails when os9gen attempts to rename "tempboot" to
"os9boot". However, if I include an iniz statement in startup, os9gen works
fine. Don't know if this is normal or not, or if it's related to the other
problem. But it does seem strange that after formatting a new disk it can be
read (but others can't) until resetting the system at which point the reverse
is true.
