In fact! I've got it that way! cat did the trick w/o any problem. I've had
a look at the mu script and, in fact, there is mystery in there. Thank you
very much, Pat! But... anyway... it hasn't worked for me... curious, isn't
it? [Of course (as always), I made sure floppies I tried were ok... no bad
sectors, several brand new floppies of SONY, TDK, BULK and other brands.
And they also work with other images... As I said beafore, I have a lot of
experience making floppies out of raw images both under Linux (PC and Sparc
using cat or dd) & under Windows (rawrite and WinImage).
Anyway... I've finally got the toy I wanted to play with...
tomorrow is a day off here... and I'll be expending most of it to
muLinux... I'm exited :) I've downloaded 11r2 and I'll play with it
instead of 10r5, which I was trying to get up until I've got Pat's email.
Thanks a lot,
Angel
