A – TransferPro does not currently include support for the internal floppy drive. The next major release (R4) will include support for the internal floppy drive. Customers who have purchased Maintenance Agreements will receive the upgrade automatically. Top of page Q – I am running TransferPro on a Data General AViiON Intel machine running DG-UX for Intel. Sometimes, when copying files to DG-UX-formatted virtual disks, the files are copied incorrectly, and the files are sometimes written to my root directory instead of where I selected them to go. What is causing this problem? A – We have noticed problems with DG-UX 4.11 on Intel platforms with virtual disks which are created and mounted using the sysadm program. If you experience similar problems, create and mount the disks using the UNIX command line, not the sysadm utility.
