- Well, it works fine for me, I have gotten the odd read error on really big
- (>500K) files, but with a few clicks on cancel, even these have read.
-
- There's been much discussion on the Dells sensitivity to RF interference,
- try moving the drive. Also, is cross dos working on your internal DD floppy ?
-
- The setup of Devs:dosdrivers/pc1: should mimic that for pc0:, check the
- tooltype for "unit=1" also. If the internal pc0: works OK and you've verified
- the setup is an appropriately modified mirror of that for pc0:, then
- I hope more experienced hackers can help you.
