Hi, when i turn on the DPX and step down to advanced
functions the LEDs say "Fd"
Isn't that Format disk?
With pressing Enter it starts the format process.
When its finished and i say again FORMAT DISK,the LED
says "bd" which means Blank disk afaik.

Under advanced functions 3 steps right there comes the
OS Version in the Display and it says "1.3"

But, yes, I really want to upgrade to higher OS.
But how?
Ich have the OS2.2 Files but can't burn eproms.
Route66 have the OS2.2 for 28$, maybe its better
to get it there.

My DPX can't read the disks written with your DPXWrite.
Thats my main problem. Whats the reason?
- Wrong OS?
- Wrong Floppy Disks?
- Floppy Drive damaged? (but it can format disks!)
