Hmmm... we should really put this in a FAQ list somewhere...

Also, if you (the original poster) have problems with it try recompiling
mtools with DUP_FAT #define'd. This causes both FAT copies on an ST Disk
to be updated.  Since you're reading I don't think it should make any
difference... but if you want to write to it, mtools won't write an ST
compatible disk with DUP_FAT.
