Didn't work either. I tried formatting a few disks. They f
I have a 'not brilliant" floppy that will sometimes give an
error message with mdir a: or mcopy a: .
It will often work on the second attempt ie. when
the green light is still on and the disk still spinning from the
first attempt;

Ignore that last message. mtools was already installed.
I tried mdir and got the same sort of error messages as below
