The problem is that ms/dos wants a "correct" block 0.  The ATARI version
has sum wrong/undefined values the kill ms/dos.  This is the same old
problem of reading tos floppies on ibm pc's. 

What to do.  Ah yes, what to do.
What I did was write a program to fix the block 0, and supply what ms/dos
wants.  This was motiviated because if i used ms/dos format it insisted
on setting up the disk with 8 sector clusters, instead of 2, as ATARI
demands.   If you can lick this problem, use format under ms/dos.  If you
are really frustrated, cuss the Tramiels, and send me mail, I mail you
my fixup program.
