I did a DOS format and it found no bad sectors. chkdsk didn't show any problems either. I tried 'make bzdisk' again and the same problem occured. Then I took an old boot disk, verified that it would still boot, and did 'make bzdisk' with it. This time it booted.
Gee, maybe CompuServe has found a way to keep us from recycling all those disks they include with computer magazines and in bulk mailings. Anyway, that disk has gone into the circular file.
