| Thanks for those files, I finally got some blank (hard-sectored)
|media and was able to create the space odyssey disk. Is yours the
|original and does it state that it's for both HDOS and CP/M?
Yes, & yes. I was even able to run it on a non-Heath cp/m system
(with an H19) at one time... 20+ years ago...
|I saw a
|picture of some other original Evryware disks that stated support for
|both HDOS and CP/M on the label. I'm not sure how they did that,
As I recall they had a file on one OS of space to hold the other's used
sectors. It wasn't too hard.
|but I
|tried Odyssey under HDOS and had no problems. When I tried to use it
|under CP/M, I can see the directory, it correctly states that the
|executable is odyssey.COM (under HDOS it correctly shows it as a
|odyssey.ABS). So I'm assuming this IS one of Evryware's dual OS disks,
|but when I tried to run under CP/M, I get a "BAD LOAD" error message.
It's possible that my own transfer mechanism caused some problem, but
I doubt it.
|Maybe there is some limitation on the disk transfer program that
|prevents this from working (or I used the transfer program incorrectly
|- I didn't specify volume number, do I need to in this case).
I haven't looked at that program, so I'm not sure.
|If you
|have the original, can you see if your disk works in both HDOS and
|CP/M?
I have the original, but unfortunately my H8 isn't in working order at
the moment. I imaged the disks on a different machine using an (IMHO)
clever hardware hack to get an MFM controller to read the raw bits.
