I guess the disk got corrupted somewhere in its journey from the USA to UK. That or I left one of my magnetised screwdrivers on it by mistake lol.
I made a new disk using the D64 image from the website and made sure that it has no errors. I was wrong, it turns out that about half of the programs work. At least they look like they are working but I haven't had a chance to try them properly yet
Here are the programs that will not work (for me at least):
header reader
imbedded track
disk comparer
1/2 track format
view bam
sync maker
repair track
turbo speed load
dms
wp sensor test
drive mon
turbo 64
e700
mach-3
I didn't try programs like 'sync m/l' as I assumed they were being used by one of the above. Eg 'sync maker' would load 'sync m/l' but I'm only guessing
One of the programs that did work made reference to a 'Top Secret Stuff' diskette so I looked that up - you sure did and do produce a lot of stuff
