An obscure one, but I have been using the ubee512 emulator to check a few things out and found that using 56k model with 56k master images, he ddformat utility doesnt seem to be able to format the B drive sucessfully - it completes without error but doesnt erase the virtual diskette..
Does anyone have the same issue with the emulation or the real thing?
In my manic learning mode 12! months ago, I think I hit this issue. I resolved it in UBEE512 by deleting everything on a disk then copy pasting that image .dsk in Windows 11 so i had multiple blank disks available. What .dsk size are you using. I was using blank_ds_80.dsk format. cheers g
edited: are you using Windows? if so if you have UBEE512 in program files then it is sandboxed and protects files. your formatted file lives on in another part of the hard drive ////\apps\something or other. But Windows 11 protects the original disk. meh. I fixed this issue by installing UBEE512 outside program files.
