Subj: BOOSTER PAK'S DISK <F5> FUNCTIONS
Hi, Drew, Gotta 'nother toughie, re: TPDD1 and LapDOS II. (1.) I've got a 102 with Booster Pak (version 1.23). Can't get the Disk <F5> or Backup <F6> functions to work using a friend's TPDD1. I tried it with DIP switch 1 On & Off (9600 & 19200 baud), but get nothing other than "Drive Not Ready" message. I've also tried various settings for the other DIP switches, without results. However, the 102/Booster Pak & TPDD1 combo works fine when I use FLOPPY.CO or TINY.CO. DSKMGR will not work with my 102/Booster Pak, but works fine with my stock Model 100. (2.) Similar problem using LapDOS II with a PC-to-Model 102 direct connection. The Booster Pak manual says the Disk functions work when Desk Link is used with a PC-to-Model 102 connection. No luck on mine. I thought LapDOS II served the same purpose as Desk Link. Am I on the wrong track? I'd like to be able to backup the entire Booster Pak, with directories intact, but can't figure out how to do this via LapDOS II. Thanks, <Lex>
