   Whew! I thought I was the only one with a problem like that!  What I am
   looking for is some way of reading 40 tracks of 18 sectors/track, 256 bytes/
   sector.  I am almost positive I have seen a program that read these disks
   before, but I can't remember what it was...

   If anyone out there either has or knows the program, or has some Turbo-C
   code, or knows where to get any of the above, I'd be so happy to get that
   info!  I'm getting desperate! :-)

   Thanks in advance!

Hmm.. i'm not sure if this is what you want, but in the
/mirrors/msdos/dskutl dir on wuarchive.wustl.edu there's a program
called 22dsk134.zip which carries this description : "CP/M<->Diskette 
xfer, over 100 formats. SYDEX".  I used this program to read some
weird CP/M type formats a while back.  It worked OK.  I remember that
some program I used also let you set up user-specified disk formats,
although I'm not sure if this was the Sybex package.  The other
program might also be at wustl.  (It's been a while, I'm sorry I can't
be more specific)

Regards,
