Or even full track writes directly from a .DMK file.              And why are you so set on doing this with an old Tandy 1000? What's       wrong with using a regular generic PC running MSDOS? CPU speed       shouldn't be an issue; that's what floppy controller chips and DMA       channels are for. You just aren't likely to be able do it with a USB       floppy drive.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
