HI fellow coconuts,

Having trouble transferring DSK images to real floppy disks, my PC setup is
a 2400+ AMD cpu and board, 1x720k DSDD, running WINDOWS98SE for the emulator
side of the coco software, XP is my main OS , for non coco related subjects.
My Probs are, finally got my system to recognize the 720k drive when using
DSKINI utility, but when it finishes transferring the DSK contents across to
the real floppy disk, there is nothing on it, do a DIR call in rsdos, shows
nothing, comes up with errors.
what is the full command line for dskini, if i was to say i want Disk
Defeater onto real floppies.
And is it normal for the icon for my 720k drive to say it's a 5 1/4 inch
drive, when it's a 3 1/2 inch drive, on my desktop in XP.
So hopefully some coco user like me had the same troubles, and found the way
to fix it, need all the help i can get, i'm close to punching my fist
through my PC's casing.
Viva la coco
