Rebuttle: Although the below statement is somewhat correct, it should be
pointed out that dd and hd disk median is not the same.  The drive head
current used to write to the disk depends on what disk the computer thinks
it's writing to. Although you can convert dd to hd via below method and
you may not ever expierence problems, for a master copy of some data you
risk loosing it over time.  Hdensity head current is lower than dd and the
dd median is designed for a higher current. Despite that some people feel
disk makers are using the same disk but charging us more for hd is not
true. Also they really don't check the unused side of a dd disk.

 I bought a really nice 3 1/2" disk conversion tool from "THE SOFTWARE LABS"
at 3767 Overland Avenue #112, Los Angeles, CA. 90034-6311. Their phone
number is (800) 359-9998. It's made of heavy guage, deep drawn steel and is
endorsed by COMPUTE and PC LAPTOP magazines. I've converted hundreds of
disks that I use all the time and have had no problems at all with their
performance. The conversion tool is the best computer utility I own. I
wouldn't worry at all about backing up a hard drive on converted disks that
were made using this tool. The only caution they make is that certain disks
are constructed with flimsy shells and may crack under the preasure of the
tool. I've had no problems with bulk disks from CompUSA, MidWest Micro or
brands such as Fuji, Maxell or Sony. It's worth your time to try this
miracle utilty at all costs.

PC disks are formatted in concentric circles.  Mac disks are
formatted in a spiral (like your old black vinyl records).  (This
is what let Macs put 800k on a floppy that the PC could only get 
720k on.)  The Mac drive (actually the superdrive) can be controlled 
to read concentric-formatted disks.  I do not believe that there is
a way to control the standard pc drives to read spiral-formatted
disks.  There may be special hardware out there that can do it.

Good luck.

Where are you going to find the perforated paper (I assume in 3 parts) so 
that you may easily separate the checks?

Someone one posted how "standard" toner would work as the check gets 
magnetized & instantly read, something regular toner can do (though not 
as well).  Occasionally standard toner may not hold the magnetism & cause 
problems but that was not as often as one might imagine.

Someone (Xerox?) was supposedly coming out with a small (~10 ppm) printer 
for small business to use that user MICR toner (supposedly to be made 
readily available at a reasonable cost), so that they could save money on 
business checks.

While I cant say that I have had this error (haven't tried it), it doesn't
like OS/2 at all, so I dumped it. :(  It is quite buggy it seems.  Even the
switch to disable DPMI mode still locked on my system. 

I'll stick to 1.1 for now, and InfoZip for OS/2 in os/2 mode.

No, Mac disks are formatted in concentric circles, too.  The difference
is that the Mac drive changes the speed that the disk rotates as the
head moves in and out, thus keeping the speed that the media moves past
the head approximately constant.  This means that you can record more
sectors on the longer outer tracks than on the shorter inner tracks and
that's where the extra capacity comes from.

Otherwise, open the case and pull the wires off the speaker.  To go even 
further, add a toggle switch to the outside of the case and run the wires
through the switch.  To be very neat about, assuming you don't need the
turbo switch for much, unplug the turbo switch wires from the mother board
and run the wires for the speaker through it.  [I dont know if the last it
possible, but it would be neat.]

I wonder if this should have been in alt.hackers too. :)

wuarchive is probably wrong.

PKWare says that this is the legitimate release, and it is not infected.

The reports of virus infection are coming from people using older versions 
of Norton Antivirus.  Later versions report (correctly) no virus.

While PKZip 2.04c may have a lot of problems (typical of Phil Katz, he 
released it with a bunch of power user options [DPMI, XMS, EMS all enabled 
unless you turn them off using obscure switches] defaulting to on, so that 
it is likely to crash Windows 3.1 and OS/2 DOS boxes) it is not infected 
by any virus.

Yet.

No, PKZIP 2 will compress using the Deflate method.  I did not see an
option to use the older Implode method.  The "extra" compression simply
modifies the Deflate method to use slower but tighter compression.

PKUNZIP 2 will handle any previous compression method.

Most likely results:
      Flakey processor.  A 33MHz-rated chip is designed to run at 33MHz
      under worst-case conditions.  So, if you run it faster:
         - it may or may not work, even under 'optimum' conditions
         - it almost certainly will not work as the chip heats up.
      Luckily, I believe the innards of the chip are CMOS, so if the chip
      overheats it won't start thermal run-away and "catch fire".  However
      running the chip too hot will probably destroy it over time as 
      metal migration and other nastys occur.

   Suggestion: Don't do this.  Even if it seems to work for a while, you
   may be corrupting memory and your disk!

a side question....

Is the drive write line hardware gated by the write enable or
is it just another signal passed to the drive controller? I know
when I used to do subsystem design, most of the disk controller
chips could be forced to write regardless of the state of the
write protect. It was up to the device driver to ensure that the
controller was initialized and the protect/enable was set up 
properly (I think that the main reason was to allow the designer 
to change the function of the 'tab' from 'write protect' to 'write 
enable'. To be honest, I still think of the PC as being 'the wrong 
way around'. Too many years of write enable tabs, I guess. :) 

Anyways...the point of my question is can the write protect
on a 'standard' pc/xt/at be disabled with software?

Yup.  The poster mentions that he is not, as far as he knows, using
EXEPACK, but it is possible that some compiler or linker is doing it or
the equivalent behind his back.  I would get LZEXE (from Simtel, et al),
and try running UPACKEXE on the executable file.  It might tell you
something...
