I am currently trying to copy a bunch of floppy disks using an Indus GT and Atari 1050 disk drives, using an Atari 800xl computer and MyDos 4.1 and I am getting the following errors. . . . . .

Drives not compatable !
Error-138
Error -144

I can load games from each drive and read the directories from each drive but I cannot Duplicate Disks :?:

I have the destination disk formatted and the Dos and Dup files in them too.

I will admit it has been a while since I fooled around with an Atari computer and any Dos System, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong or what the problem is :?: :?:

Any help would be appreciated :cool:

Make sure both disks are formatted to the same capacity.

138 is a timeout error.
144 indicates a problem with the disk. That error is returned in a number of circumstances such as illegal sector number, blank disk, no disk, CRC error, bad sector.

I am assuming you mean density ??

Yes they are the same density
