Disklavier

Hi - Thanks for your suggestion, however I have already tried your 
suggestion but it's no good - even with the patched software, and 
slowing my 2.66 GHz P4 laptop down to < 200MHz, it still crashes.  
The error is memory address space related, I believe, as it seems to 
be trying to write to a location that is already in use, causing the 
crash.

Incidentally, there has been much discussion about the lack of 
support in XP for 720Kb floppy disks.

They are easy to format - just use the command line and type in 
EXACTLY as follows between teh quote 
marks: "format /t:80 /n:9 /x /v: /fs:fat a:" and then press enter - 
hey presto a properly fomatted 720 Kb diskette.

Giebler has no trouble formatting either, it just runs slowly. The 
crash happens (for me) at the most crucial point.

More suggestions, please!

Norm
