I recall that problem, but I'm having difficulty ATM remembering what the 
solution was.



1); the window is closed to write a 3.5 disk.

2): the 1.44, 3.5" BIOS setting should work.  The crossed up setting, was 
using the 720 setting for a 360 drive.



Do I recall that some 3.5" drives could not work at the slower speeds?



I don't know of any programs for reading CoCo disks to DSK files yet. Please 
let me know if you do find any.
