Hi there, i have been able to get my interface to work with a standard hard drive, but i wanted to get it working with a Compact Flash,
I think i may have an alignment issue on my floppy drives, and run into Parity errors when trying to setup a boot disk and config for it.

I was wondering, if I bring my Lo-Tech interface, along with my IDE to compact Flash adapter board, a few floppies, and a couple of compact flash cards,
I was wondering if someone exhibiting might be able to help me test it out? I'm hoping to get a TRS-DOS 6.2 boot disk with the drivers working. :)

it seems a pretty straight forward operation, however i keep getting parity errors when trying to copy files etc. oddly enough i can boot disks,
run applications but just copying files seems to be an issue... ( I dont want to trouble shoot that just yet, i just want to create a floppy disk i can boot my
hard drive from.

Any in person help at VCF MW would be great... :)
