Hi Todd, That is really weird! I don't have that trouble here. Both consoles produce the same results. See picture below... all commands were entered by the Hyper terminal Console. What are you using for a back plane?

Have you tried to connect the console I/O and the Terminal both at the same time? You can do this, and just watch the input from the other device. When you run DIR on the console I/O you should see the same output on both. Same goes for input from the terminal. > > The reason I prefer the terminal, is because you can use Martin's X-Modem in CP/M to upload/download files to the disk image. > > Yes, it would be nice to write some software that will read/write to the image files directly from windows, I just don't have the 16 hours to do this.

It sure would be nice to have a chooser to copy files into the DISKxxx images from the local ms/dos, linux or osx file systems. > > > Or how about in the ROM.
