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.
