Copying Track 0
Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2017 3:19 am
I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with V3.3's track zero R/W utility. When I load the utility and attempt to read track 0 into memory (multiple attempted locations), the system hangs on the read. So:
*CA 0200=06,4
*GO 0200
Starts the utility. When I enter the Rnnn command (ex\R4800), the system hangs. The disk from which I'm reading boots fine (so, track zero should be okay, right?).
If I can't get this utility working, are there any work-around, maybe:
1. direct calls and saves to track zero?
2. Using the V3.2 track zero\copy utility?
The machine I'm using: C8PMF (one 5.25" drive), 48K, standard ROM (not Cegmon)
Thanks, Tom
