Re: Please help with ADT

Yes, ADT says I need DOS 3.3

I read the document about how to dump it over via a text file in a
similar manner as how ADT is dumped.  I have done this and it seems to
work except for one thing.  when I do the "INIT HELLO" to try making
the disk bootable, it headbands for a moment, then starts ticking away
with its format.  After a minute or so, it headbangs again and the
screen says, "I/O ERROR."  and returns me to BASIC.  The disk it made
is not bootable, it simply continues to headbang indefinatly on this
disk.  I have tried multiple different 5.25" disks.  I can format these
disks under GS/OS and write files to them and it all works fine.

I did manage to save ADT-GS to a floppy disk using the GS-OS's ProDos 8
or whatever it is.  When I run ADT, I can use the directory function
and see the files on my PC.  The moment I try to write a disk, the
system crashes to the monitor.  So I assume that is an incompatibility
with the DOS version.

I'm kind of stuck here.  There might be a way around this, though.  I
bet I could dump the DOS 3.3 over via IN#2, then dump ADT over the same
way.. Then if I had a disk image of a DOS 3.3 boootable disk, I could
write that image.    So.. Does anyone have a bootable DOS 3.3 disk
image they can send me?  Preferably one with ADT-GS already on it, but
if not, I can live with that.
