Yes, I had this trying to use rawrite to write a floppy on a 386SX under
DRDOS-5, with a CMU packet driver loaded (for telnet/FTP). I just copied
the files (Rawrite /and the MINIX files) using DRDOS, to floppies, and
putting them on a 286 under MDSOS3.3, then rawrite worked OK. I didn't
trace it any further.... BUT if you have a network driver loaded, AND
rawrite wants to be a bit like formatting, and wants to control the hardware,
***problems might occur as the interrupts form whatever rubbish is on your
networks want to be looked at****.
Try unloading network stuff. Try as I did for getting binary stuff off
an AppleII through a serial line: turn off the DOS clock interrupt ... it
was trashing 1% of the bytes coming in.
Don't use TSR's,
Good luck,
Graham
