Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4432 (TS-DOS)
---- I recall something about TPDD and TPDD2 overhead. It's been awhile but I believe that you can get about 85,000 to 87,000 bytes total on a TPDD formatted disk. The best way to confirm this is to use the DOS-ON function of TS-DOS, open a file on a fresh disk, then write bytes to it, counting them to your screen until you get an error message. Here's a program idea... not tested but should work... 10 CLS:MAXFILES=1:X=0 20 OPEN"0:X.DO"FOROUTPUTAS1 30 PRINT#1,"A"; 40 X=X+1:PRINT@130,X 50 GOTO30 When this puppy crashes you will have the count of the last byte you wrote to the file. Good luck... -Rick-
