Hey Michael.The Softkey "controllers" are text files that are meant to be EXECed into the Super IOB program, which saves you the typing. ;-)Ah ha! I thought there was something I was missing. Thanks for the little tidbit on info!I run Super IOB, but have the same error with Tack 1.
Then it's time to examine track 1 in Copy II Plus using the nibble editor. Take a look at the address and data formatting nibbles and see if they match the softkey.
I haven't looked at the Sword of Kadash controller, but it may be changing some format nibbles so that a normal disk can't be read, only the Sword of Kadash or other similarly protected disk. Are you using an *original* Sword of Kadash or a deprotected copy?I am trying to copy Mastery Development's Arithmetic Games. Acording to Computist I should use the Sword of Kadash Side B softkey. No good though. I also do have the original of Arithmetic Games.If anyone has a known good, working copy of Super IOB please email me a copy or post a link here.It's almost certainly OK. There is some other problem.Must be as I also tried the v1.2 Super IOB but still to no avail. I can't imagine that the softkey could be wrong. Maybe Mastery Development changed it's copy protection scheme and I have a newer disk?
It's not unusual for the copy protection scheme to change somewhat from edition to edition of a program.
I'm at a total loss at this point. I'll send a copy of the Super IOB program I have to AMart and see if it works for him. 'No go' for me though.
The thing to do at this point--assuming that it doesn't work for AMart either--is to read the Computist article accompanying the softkey and see if you can recreate the discovery process to find a new softkey that *does* work with the disk. It's like a puzzle--sometimes the answer is not in the back of the book and you have to solve it. ;-) -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
