Hello,
The error you get is:
Probably not a MSDOS floppy
cannot initialize
And so my question is: Did you copy the bin01.xx onto msdos formatted
floppies? There are known problems with reading 720k dos floppies.
Try 1.2MB or 1.44MB...
Also have a look at the mread manpage to check that the device for a:
is the correct one..
Hope this helps,
Reinier kleipool.
