In short, has anyone reported successfully running cpmish on a Brother PowerNote via a Gotek disk image? I downloaded the automatically generated build img file for the PN8800, which I'm 99.9% sure should work in my PN8700 (no clue why Brother put out so darned many different versions). I copied the image onto a blank partition on my Gotek USB drive using the WinXP version of the image management software, and when I check the folder there I have CPMISH.APL. All good. When I move to the Brother and plug in the USB drive and select the correct disk image number and go to Disk Application, I see the same thing - CPMISH.APL, 1.1 file size on the disk, almost the entire 1400K available. However when I highlight the APL file and hit enter, one of two things happens - either the machine freezes up right on that screen and nothing other than a hard reset will bring it back, or the machine quickly does a soft reset (which, credit to you, I didn't think these machines could do!) and lands back on the main menu after showing the Brother bootup splash screen.\r\n\r\nI'd really like to test-drive CP/Mish on my Brother, and hope someone has run into this and knows a reliable way around it.\r\n\r\nThanks!\r\n\r\nPS [Here's a link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iTFUyheajvB42TwvBUKRfh8_sE8BzUkg/view?usp=drive_link) to the 'freezing' behavior.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rdmullins","@type":"Person","name":"rdmullins"},"datePublished":"2024-06-21T00:00:02.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/67/cpmish/issues/67"}
