3.5" Altair CP/M

[Grant Stockly]

I have a tarbell floppy controller card that has been rewired to access 
3.5" disks using a standard PC 3.5" disk drive.  I have 3 disks that the 
Altair can boot off of and read, but my windows computer can't do anything 
with them.  I've tried rawread.exe and diskinfo.exe and they both choke on 
the disk.  I assumed that if a disk could be written with the standard 3.5" 
disk drive on the tarbell card then it should also be read on the same 
drive connected to a modern IBM compatible.

The disks are 720K style, they don't have the high density hole.

I was hoping that these disks would be an easy way to move data to and from 
the Altair.

The version of CP/M is 1.4.

What could be missing?  If the bitrate is fixed, then is CP/M not writing 
standard sectors?  Rawread says "Address not found" and diskinfo says the 
drive is not ready.
