I bought this Sharp MZ-100 for $15 at the local thrift store.
I wasn't aware of the specs so I grabbed a 1.44MB DOS 5.0 boot disk and it showed a bad system disk error.
So I found the specs and found it only has two 720 K drivers. I then wrote a boot disk image to a 1.44MB disk with the DD hole covered in Windows Vista and a USB floppy drive. It said that it wrote successfully but once again it did not boot.
Then, I booted up my 486 thinking maybe vista or the USB floppy drive did not support 720 K. I covered the hole in another diskette and
ran
format /F:720 /S
It showed that it wrote sucessfully but once again it did not boot.
Is this computer broken or am I doing something wrong?
