Hi, thanks for the response! Here's the current info: ADT enters itself into
the monitor just fine (1.2 second line delay and 10ms character pacing), but
I get an I/O ERROR when it gets to the part of ADT.DMP (the input file for
transmitting to the Apple) where it BSAVEs the file. Specifically it tries
to execute: bsave adt a$803,l$a14,s6,d1. If I boot my original DOS 3.3
System Master disk and type-in this bsave command, I also get the I/O ERROR.
So...
1. Is my DOS 3.3 master hosed?
2. Is my Floppy drive/controller hosed?
3. Yesterday I installed the Apple Super Serial 2 card as well. Could the
dip switches on it have any effect on slot #6?
Thanks in advance for any help! --John
