Hi Geoff,

Sorry for the delay in replying (I thought I'd set it up so I'd get emails from this group, but that didn't work).

How did you manage to make a working LocoLink disk? I renamed the EMS file to EMT and although the PCW started booting (I got around 5 or 6 black lines at the top of the display), it then stopped mid-way through and beeped to indicate the disk was invalid.

I know that the PCW's A drive (the 3.5 inch one) is configured to boot correctly (it boots with LocoScript / CP/M).

Would you be able to send me a working LocoLink disk image (preferably raw IMG format - I can easily write that onto a disk).

Thanks,
Andrew
