Caveat: I use Elks I am _not_ a developer.
David has a point here which bears expanding a bit. I found on my 1100
(same as a 1200 w/o the hd) that the 720 drive is quite particular about
what disks it takes. If you can, format a genuine 720 floppy (one "hole")
in a 720 drive (not 1.44) and dd the image to that. As an empirical fix,
this has worked for me both on my 1100 and 1200. To pre-empt a further
question - no I have not got the 1200's hd up and running under Elks. I
would put more work into it but the hd is very hard on the battery.
