Eric,

     I'm having a similar problem with Teledisk. I was one of the ones that
bought their's in the group purchase and I have a registered copy. I've
contacted Bruce who made the group purchase and he has contacted the new
owner's of teledisk. They both say that they can't find a problem with it
but IT WILL NOT WORK FOR ME!!!! It appears to copy disks to files fine and
TDCheck says that the files are ok but most of the files are very small,
typically 256 bytes. When you try to create a disk from the file it gives
the same kind of errors that you're getting. I've tried Teledisk with at
least 50 different disks (most KNOWN good) and at least 6 different data
formats but the ONLY thing it will copy is MS_DOS disks. I've given up on
it. I've already tried everything that everyone has suggested and I'm fed
up with telling everyone over and over what I've already done. Chalk it up
to a bad investment!
