Guess it's time to run some of the boilerplate by again.
Not all, but a good portion of the internet is paid for
by the federal government with taxpayer's money.

I can't quote the verbiage exactly, but advertisements are
a no no.

Boy, I sold MINE in the nick of time. About 1 1/2 years ago I sold
my K10 for $900. Bought a 286 machine for $1000. Glad I did not keep
mine. Just wish there was a media program for MS/DOS which could read
K10 disks!

Yup! MM 1.0<something> (I believe it is MM 1.02) does not have
K10 anywhere in the list of disks it can read, and I was trying it
on an AT clone with one 1.2 meg and one 360k drive.

Is there a newer MM which CAN read K10 disks formatted on a K10?
(Rumor has it that the K10 did not correctly write the side bit
on the floppy. A different rumor said that the K10 has a bad CRC
or checksum in one of the non-data fields on the disk.)

Any help greatly appreciated, as I would like to free up the 100 or
so disks currently holding K10 stuff by removing from them what I want
to keep....
