ADT image transfer aborted
Posted by: Macintoshguy1984 on 2017-02-22 14:28:27
Whenever i try to transfer a disk image from my host computer to the 2c, the host says the image transfer was aborted. How could i fix this?

Ok, I got to transfer a image, but the hist says there were errors. When ever i try to boot from disk, it doesn't work

The physical floppy that you're copying the image to - is it formatted?

yes, using adt

Errors wouldn't make sense when writing a floppy, then - unless there were physical defects on the disk.  You're using DD/Double Density vs. HD/High Density disks, correct?

Also, after i format the disk its name will be "no name' instead of what i put.

Ok, i changed the com port rate and i got it to transfer but it said "complete - with errors!" And the disk won't boot after wards. I looked at trace and it said it transferred with 1 error but how do i find that error out?

Is it possible that the floppy drives bad?

Posted by: david__schmidt on 2017-02-27 12:51:10
What is the name of the image, and where did you get it from so that I can download it too?

Posted by: Macintoshguy1984 on 2017-03-01 14:41:48
I finnaly found out it was writing all of the data as "bad blocks"
