I haven't used OS/8 in depth in almost 50 years. My memory is a little foggy, so please forgive the dumb question.
I have done the following:
.R RXCOPY
*RXA1:/D
.R RXCOPY
*RXA1:/R
.ZERO RXA1:
ZERO! Are you sure?
Yes
.DIR RXA1:
Bad directory
Why am I getting Bad Directory? I can't remember what I need to do to put a directory on the diskette.
Interesting piece of information: The DEC labled diskettes don't format double density very well, like most sectors bad but when formatted single density there are only a few bad sectors. I'm using some unknown brand blue diskettes and they format double density no problem with zero bad sectors.
Thank for the help,
Mike
