Washington, Computer Sci Lines: 11 I have a Coco (not Coco II) with a RS disk and controller. It seems to run anything using the RS disk format (e.g. Telewriter 64) without any problems. But when I try to format an OS9 disk it usually hangs somewhere in the process, and just keeps reading the same track continuously. I have also had problems with CRC errors on OS/9 disks written by the drive. Does anybody know what the OS/9 format utility does, and what might cause it to hang?
