[Coco] Another problem

[Bill]

It always fails trying to read any disks made by the "other set". Both sets seem to read commercially made Coco disks o.k.

Could be head alignment, or drive speeds are off. Does it sporadically read, or always fail? If you have the original OS9 boot disks (in Level 2’s case, I think the BASIC09 disk), there is a disk speed test program on it that you can try. You may have to “hybrid” a drive from each set onto the same controller to load it, though. Or does it read commercial Coco disks fine, just not each others?
