HELP!! Vulcan/Copy ][+ error on //e!
ARGHS!!
I have a reclaimed 20Mb Vulcan GS which has been adapted (with a Vulcan
][e controller) to run on my enhanced //e. It's kind of neat as it is all
internal and such; the //e has a high-capacity (though not as high
capacity as a "Buggie") power supply to drive it.
The disk boots fine. It seems to function beautifully. Using Copy ][
Plus 8.3, I attempt to copy some text files from 5.25" floppy to the
Vulcan, and everything goes haywire. I get an "I/O ERROR BLOCK $0000". I
try running a "Verify Disk" on the drive after the aborted copy, and every
block on the disk comes up bad. I quit C][+ and the hard drive doesn't
even show up in the volume list from the quit code.
I do a 3-finger salute to re-boot the machine.
Two seconds later, the hard drive boots to my quick and dirty BASIC menu.
Four seconds later, the Copy ][+ menu is on the screen, and I try a disk
verify. This time, the drive passes with no errors.
I try the copy again. The problem recurs.
Okay...what's going on here? Anyone? Anyone?
