Then here is what is available that I am aware of. This partial list is from CFOG's BBS. 22NCE126.ZIP 75157 04-09-90 CP/M 2.2 emulator for MSDOS! 22NCE124.ARC 75776 12-18-88 Terminate-Stay-Resident Latest version of Sydex's 22NICE CP/M 2.2 emulator. Loads a memory resident module that allows running CP/M programs right from the PC's drive. Includes terminal emulators to emulate popular CP/M computers and terminals. This updated version does not need to be always present in memory - it can be loaded as needed to run CP/M programs. Shareware. Z80MU52B.ARC 117760 11-10-89 Terminate-Stay-Resident Run CP/M programs on MS-DOS computers. I believe this version may only support V20 and V40 CPU's. Otherwise you need Z80MU310 version which is much slower and older. Msg 44994 is 30 line(s) on 07/17/91 from BILL WOLFF to ALL re: DAMARK PURCHASES You might have remembered me mentioning that one computer newsletter that I received had advised caution when purchasing from Damark, 7101 Winnetka Ave. N., Minneapolis, MN 55428. Well I received my very first order from them and I was very surprised. They advertised a Magnavox RGB/composite color monitor for $99.99 + $12.50 for shipping and handling. Yes I got a monitor, it wasn't Magnavox (it's a HeadStart M-888C, btw what are these going for?), nor did it have any composite video inputs. Something of which I was very interested in having. I also know a great deal about Magnavox monitors which is one reason on why I felt confident in ordering one. Another interesting thing about the shipment, is that no manual or any kind of instructions came with this thing. The catalog said there was a one year warrantee for the Magnavox, but this isn't a Magnavox! Now what? Ah... but Damark has a legal way out of this in small print in their catalog by saying: "Substitutions - If the requested merchandise has been sold out. DAMARK may substitute merchandise of equal or greater value. If you not completely satisfied, you may return the substituted merchandise within 14 days for a refund... (excluding shipping & handling charges)" That means it will cost me about 10 more dollars to get back my $99.99 and I lose $22 and haven't got a monitor to keep. A call to customer service was very interesting. The lady told me that they didn't have any Magnavox monitors yet, I asked if I could ship this one back to get a Magnavox when they come in? She stated that she believes they won't be in, but I could ship this one back for a refund. Of course, in small print it says I need to include the warrantee cards and manuals too, of which I never got. Hmm... could it be that they never had any intentions of selling any Magnavox monitors, but merely used Magnavox's name to pickup orders for the other lesser brand? She also suggested that I should call Magnavox's customer service about the composite problem. I asked why, it's not a Magnavox monitor to begin with? Do I dare ship this without manuals?

(Your "Primary Format" is probably a real LL format, BTW.) You're guaranteed to trash the drive AND your warranty on it if you do. Your ST1144 uses Zone-Bit Recording and so has a different number of sectors per track in different areas. I have a file from Seagate that might have the info you're looking for. I'll try to format it for the message length here and upload it in a bit. No dup. chars. >Function:?
