Are you running TeleDisk under DOS?
Are you using DS/DD media and not HD?
Did you try the driver?

I made some further tests and I found that the problem was the disks themselves. I was trying to copy a set of Lotus 123 disks and for some unknown reason teledisk would give me a reading error on several disks. I tried with another set of disks (Condor database) and it worked fine !
On each track it would give a reading error message saying that sector 17 of each track was different in size (128 instead of 256), but the process continued.
The only problem is that when I try to recreate disks from teledisk image it gives me an error reading A: side 0 sect 17 on each cylinder (probably linked to this size of 128). I had to press a key after each cylinder, which is not convenient.

I made some dumps of the disks using SuperCard Pro and it worked fine and the process is straightforward (no errors). I then used the Sydex driver you mentioned (excellent software!) in order to test the copies of the disks made with SCP on my Olivetti and everything was ok. :-)
I will continue with SCP for the archiving of my disks, it's more reliable.

Thanks very much for your help !!
