Back in the day, I only had a single drive system, so whenever I copied a file from one disk to another, it required lots of swapping.
Fast forward to the future, and now I have Peter Bartlett's MIRE and two floppy drives.
I'm using a standard 5.25 40 track single sided and a 3.5 720k drive.
I have PDRIVE settings as follows on my boot disk:
0 TI=CK, TD=E, TC=40, TSR=3, GPL=2, DDSL=17, DDGA=2
1 TI=C, TD=G, TC=80, SPT=18, TSR=3, GPL=2, DDSL=17, DDGA=2
I'm using a standard Model 1 "toothless" cable configured for Drive 0 and Drive 1.
NewDOS/80 v2 boots perfectly on the 5.25" drive 0, and I was able to format a disk in drive 1 - so I am *ASSUMING* drive 1 is working properly.
(I haven't messed with any jumpers on the 3.5" drive 1 - it seems to be working since the format verify passes)
I have tried to copy the files from 0 to 1 via:
COPY 0 1 09/10/17 CBF USR NFMT NDMW
It starts the copy process
and then errors out with:
ERROR WHILE VERIFYING DESTINATION SECTOR 0
WITHIN FILE "SOME FILE"
Am I using the wrong syntax for two drives?
Is my cable or drive hardware configuration (3.5) causing the problem?
If FORMAT works - doesn't it mean I have the hardware configuration correct?
suggestions appreciated (besides switch to LDOS - blech ;-) )
