Well try to initialize the drive a few times without a disk in. If that
doesn't help i'll try to find and translate an article about adjusting
your diskdrive.

Desterm 2.00 will also, if set up correctly.  As I understand it, Desterm

=20
In the meantime, if you have Dialogue 128, use it for the things that
DesTerm can't do yet.  I use it, mainly for transferring back and forth

I really dislike dongles too, but I think you've missed something.  Read =

license agreement.  It should stipulate the number of machines you are=20

more=20
than one machine so long as you are the only user and no more than one co=
py=20
is running at a time, but these licenses are rare in the home market. =20
Contrary to popular belief, you do not own the program, you are only bein=
g=20
given the privlidge to use it.  A software author generally feels if it i=
s=20
being used on more than one machine he should be compensated for it (and=20
rightly so!).

Ya I know, it sucks, nobody said you had to like it, you had the option o=
f=20
rejecting the license and returning the software.  Since you've evidental=
ly=20
accepted it, you are bound to the conditions of the license, what ever th=
ey=20
may be.  Those are the only rights you have, regardless of your beliefs. =
=20
Incidentally, somebody asking for this in one of the PC groups would be=20
asking for a stoning from the SPA--not only per the license is it illegal=

use it on more than one machine, but it is generally stipulated that it i=

copy of the software which is to be used for archival purposes only.

The 1570 is tha same as a 1571. The only difference is that the 1570 has =

Hello,

Well, I've received requests for approximately 115 Inner Space
Anthologies and will now go out and get some quotes on a cost per
piece. I'll need about a week for this and will post again once I have
a price. Those who contacted me via e-mail will also be contacted
directly with same info.

Anyone else still interested should contact me at "[e-mail]".
Thanks everyone for the responses...

Regards, Karl Hildon

Nope aint gonna do that Gord.  Games are particularly protected and
usually will run only on the 1541 drive and usually in 64 mode. So your
certainly not gonna get 360k on a 5 1/2 DSDD disk.  You will get the
usual 664 blks and thats it.  Try make sure everything is exactly as
the original disks you had the games on, and use Maverick or some
such tool to backup your disks.  They may be loaded with all kinds
of weird protection.

Well I'm not a game player, so dont know about your anthologies stuff,
but I too got irate about replying to msgs that refused to cooperate
due to length of my reply.  I am now setup to do all my mail/newsgroups
etc from right inside the mailbox itself.  No need to ramble around in TI=
N
to work in the use groups.  Pine 3.9 does that if your server will set
it up for you the way mine is.  No more problems now.

No, it just emulates a 1541 (at original 1541 speed)

Yea.. I messed up my words...  I ment to say that the EZdrive is loud and=
 gets
hotter than the ZIP...  I would take a ZIP drive any day over the EZ...
The size of the disk may be the same 3.5" but if you look closely at each=
 cartridge
you will see that the ZIP disk is colser to a floppy disk (in constructio=
n and
design...)  The EZ media is at least 10 times the weight of the ZIP disk =
media...
The EZdrive is more like a hard disk with all the problems that go with t=
hat media
plus the added problems that go with a removable media (dirt, misalignmen=
t,
mechanical failure...) the ZIP drive wins hands down!
