After I posted the message on Info-Atari, I tried PC-Ditto again.
But this time when it asked me to insert the DOS disk, I kept
hitting the return key when it gave me the boot error.  Finally,
it booted.  The first thing I did was format a couple more disks
with a system on them, copied the applicable files over, and then
created a config.sys with the proper driver.sys call in it.  It
would not even boot from those disks either.  The only disk it
will boot from is the one formatted on the IBM compatible and
then only once in a while.  I'm wondering if I may have a disk
drive problem -- but then again, I have no problem at all reading
regular ST disks.  And when I run a seek test program on the
drive, it checks out fine.

One thing not mentioned in the reply -- Can anyone else
read/copy/manipulated files on an IBM formatted disk from GEMDOS?
I can not!

Also, (Jim) if anyone has the schematic for connecting a regular
IBM style 5 1/4 disk to the ST, PLEASE!  post it.

Again, thanks for the help!
