The whole impetus behind this was that I was
trying to read an old 360K
(might even be 320K or even 180K, I'm not sure) disk and while I could
read the directory, none of the files larger than say a cluster could be
read. I attributed this to the drive not being a "true" 360K drive.
Are you sure that the disk is in a PC-DOS format?
If the diskette is 96tpi (720k 5.25) such as PC-JX, Toshiba 300, . . .
then track 0 will be readbale, but the other tracks won't.
