There is an easier way that probably will work. Get a public domain
formatter
calledsuch as eeDC format. Format the disk with 80 tracks, 9 sectors, and pick
the
ibm boot option. This is easier than copying the boot sector over. I
have
found DC formatted disks can be read by IBM, although I can vouch for
single
sided.
