Just to add to the discussion, last night I as using the DISKCOPY command from
DR DOS 6 and to my surprise when copying high density floppies there is no
disk shuffeling like with MS DOS 5. The software copies the entire disk to RAM, 
then to the destination. With MSDOS 5 you need to insert the source and 
destination 2 or 3 times.
