I had difficulty reading a damaged 360 KB floppy a while ago. I finally got an image of it using RESQFLPY, however certain files were still corrupt. Others were OK though.

Is this too much voodoo?

That is essentially the same I did.
Made a copy of the disk and then ran Norton Utilities on it (since the original was unreadable under DOS and I didn't want to cause further problems).
I think some of the files were corrupted, but it's fortunately not a crisis.

But, as you've stated, once a disk goes bad, then you can end up with some files being corrupted.

Hi

Iam now being busy trying to make an image of the disk..

There are a few bad sectors on the disk, but it seems to be readable fine on my NEC V20 XT clone.. I can tell these files are on the disk:

Command.com
Cdisk.sys
Config.sys
Turbo.com
Turbo.doc
Cdisk.doc
Tu.com

7 files 30,203 bytes used and 274,432 bytes free.. Iam trying to upload the copy i made, but can tell if it would work for you.

Device line in config.sys is

device=cdisk.sys

Has someone the diskcopy.com file from Dos 6.22 for me?

~ At least it can do black and white~

I think iam going trying to use diskcopy to clone that protek disk.. First cloning it, then trying to image the good copied disk in my Pentium III 550Mhz setup with 360KB disk drive installed..

I use a USB transfer cable to transfer the files from internet from the Intel core i7 2600K to my pentium III machine.

HI everybody!
I own the same motherboard and have a big question.
There is no batter in this board.

I cant put to run, I'm in the process of clean, and waiting for an XT keyboard.
But I inspect in the clean process and won't see any battery.......

Some info about this please?

No battery here (thank goodness). The IO card you use for it might have a battery for time (mine does). And then you have to use TIMER.COM to program the time or propagate it to DOS during boot... or just enter date/time on every boot (vanilla DOS boot without Autoexec/Config).

Fantastic board if you ask me... and the turbo button makes all the difference for XT-class software.

Thanks for the info wbahnassi
And yes no battery here.

One more question.
This board only work with 5 1/4 floppy 360kb?
NO way to make this work with 1.2mb floppy?

I think XT cannot recognize 1.2MB, but I remember I read there were ways around that. My Juko machine came with a 360K 5.25", a 720K 3.5", and a 10MB MFM HDD. The floppy drives connected to a controller card that has a battery on it too, and the HDD connected to an MFM controller card.
So yeah, the design allows for 720K floppy drives at most. I haven't tried connecting a 1.2MB to it, but the mobo's dip switches can only specify how many drives you have connected.. not their type.
