Jim,
I've got it figured out, I think. Using a 48 TPI Floppy your Software reads all the (40) tracks.
It worked the first time I tested, but I had used the -d switch with SAMdisk which double
stepped the head, and making it appear to have missed tracks. I've copied the KP2Boot1.SCP
file to A: with SAMdisk and it boots and the software functions properly on my Kaypro II.
I'm thinking your software will also work when using a DSDD 360K Floppy in a 96 TPI drive.
You would need to create a New Drive Type 1.2M. Then, also in the Pulldown menu for Drive
Settings, just add a selection for Double Step or Single Step. That way the user can select
the step rate.
Either way, why don't you also add a Drive Type of 1.2M DSHD IBM type?
Thanks.
Larry
