Hello again,

Further to my message a little while ago...

I've just downloaded the .img file you posted.

I've looked inside that file, I note that it's a raw image, without any 
supporting info, so it's not a .DSK file like could be used with the Joyce 
emulator.   Maybe I could write a prog to convert it into an image file that 
I could use directly?

However...

Looking at the image data, I see that the boot sector is looking for an .EMT 
file, and NOT an .EMS file.


The disk directory shows J15CPM3.EMT, that would be the file that would 
boot.   The LocoLink file is an .EMS file, and the boot process would NOT 
see it.   To use that partic disk, you should rename the .EMT file to .EMS, 
and the LocoLink file to .EMT, and see what happen then?   If you've created 
this disk on your system, then I'd expect that your system does expect the 
boot files to be .EMS, so you should rename the LocoLink file to .EMT for 
use on your system.

Geoff
