Hi Benjgvps, I've tried everything, but still no joy.

I've unpacked the zip archive and used Transmac to format and copy the image to 8 different diskettes. Sometimes the format fails tho not often, always copying the image to the diskette fails, usually right at the end with 'Error writing to Mac disk'. I tried many diskettes, none worked. I then tried rawrite2.exe which will write a raw image to a diskette, but it always comes up with 'controller has failed' message (also right at the end).

I'm going to try and locate a box of top quality diskettes and try it again. At this point it seems that it either has to be the image, unzipped it's 1,474,644 bytes, is that the right size? or the diskettes I'm using.

I'm using PC diskettes (formatted with Transmac) rather than Mac diskettes, are there any differences between the two? I seem to recall shops selling boxes of PC diskettes or Mac diskettes...

Thanks for your help...
