Ok, I tried that in VirtualBox and there was no problem with the installation. Should I mention that DOSBox is the culprit in this case? And I also wonder if I should specify that it's version 0.74 exactly that causes this issue, because at some point a new version may come out with some bugfixes, even though there have been no updates in years. By the way, sorry for late response, didn't notice this immediately. ----- Cheer up! Remember the less you have, the more there is to get. |

If anyone got the original floppies, feel free to make dumps and compare SHA1 hashes to help us verify it. ----- Cheer up!

In this case, Rastan is Not dumped correctly. Because Rastan disk has copy protection on Track 16/0. So this status seems to be cracked or redump needed by SCP or Kryoflux. |

Member Zombie Gumby Posts: 3881 | @imbpc5150, 1) Restored is NOT verified, only improved as far as it can be. In this particular case system IDs were restored back to original. 2) We don't care about disk-based copy protection for the reasons that will soon be articulated in our new floppy guidelines. ----- Cheer up!

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 486 | @Moebius Do you really have original disk of Rastan? At least, disk 1 of 5.25" or 3.5" is Not restored perfectly. 1) Copy Protected sectors are missing with stadard IMA. 2) They shoule be dumped by SCP or Kryoflux image. I've checked disk 1 of Rastan (002334_rastan.7z). But your restoration is wrong or incomplete. This seems to be cracked disk. Original disk doesn't include RASTAN.EXE. RASTAN.COM should be exist. Anyway, this is cracked status. ----- Edited by ibmpc5150 at 16:41 on February 16th, 2018 |
