System name: hal-clement
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.0F
Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Display directory of 3 1/2" 720K IBM disk via command "dosdir"
What's wrong:
I got hard sync err (can't read FAT)
What should have happened:
Directory should be displayed. This is more a request for a feature.
3 1/2" 720K disks are a lot more standard than 1.44M disks, and it would
be nice to be able to read and write them from the VS3100. Is this
possible? I teach classes on Athena for the Lowell Institute School
and most of the students are from outside MIT. I think a lot of them
would find it handy to read and write in this format as would I.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man dosdir
