# Stepping Rate Fix

The May 1989 issue of [Capital District T/S Computer Club’s](http://localhost/usergroup/capital-district-t-s-computer-club/) newsletter told of two members using TS2068’s with [Larken](http://localhost/tag/larken-electronics/) having trouble DOS reading each other’s disks. It seemed that [Fred Lewis](http://localhost/indiv/fred-lewis/) could read John Warren’s disks but John could not read Fred’s disks. This sounded familiar to me as I once had trouble reading disks that came from [Rod Gowen](http://localhost/indiv/rod-gowen/) and [Larry Kenny](http://localhost/indiv/larry-kenny/).
