: Hello All!

: I recently purchased a P/E box on e-bay with a single
: drive and disk controller for my recently acqired
: ti-99/4a AND ti-99/4 consoles (yes 99/4!) but could
: not get any floppy disks to run on either consoles,
: even ti program (phdxxxx) disks. All I get is an load
: error code 16 (sometimes 56 or 57) message and I dont
: know what this means since I dont have any documentation
: other than the TI disk manuals which I followed very
: carefully. Assuming the disks are ok (I thik its
: unlikely that all 5 of my TI program disks would be bad)
: I am wondering if the problem is in the disk drive,
: disk controller card, P/E box or mabye even the flex
: cable. BTW the disk drive and controller card both
: light up when the run command is issued and the drive
: does spin at which point I get an error mesage which
: I dont know the code for. Any help would be appreciated

: Thanks! Rich Moellering
