  What makes you think your ST needs a patch to read/write IBM disks???

  Just format the disks on the IBM and use them...!  :^)

  If the program you're using can do it, for maximum safety when
switching between two IBM formatted disks on the ST, insert an ST
formatted disk and get a directory of it before inserting a new IBM disk.
This prevents the ST from thinking the two different IBM disks are the
same disk and writing incorrect FAT/directory information to the 2nd
disk.

  That's it...  -Your- patch (written in english) is now complete..  :^)
