I'm thinking a little bit. Do you use any special type of machines (SMP, HT, for example)? I believe (!) I found some race condition in the startup of the parallel transfer working on cbm4win some time before. Such a race might leave the drive in an erroneous state on exit, thus, your behaviour might be due to that. I will check for myself. Could it be that the 99, DRIVER ERROR never occurs with the first command, but only after you used d64copy or cbmcopy with -tp? This would indicate that my reasoning might be valid. > > 2.

Although: You might have a short between some lines on your cables (or, at least, small resistors) which result in this behaviour. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
