From a friend I received a 3.5 inch diskette, formatted with 10 sectors/track,
which results in 800k (double sided). This was done however on an ATARI ST.
But to my big surprise, my PC has no trouble reading it, and chkdsk nicely
reported it indeed was a 800k disk. 
So you have 80k extra with no trouble!
My question is: does anyone know of a program (preferably public domain) that
can do the same trick on a MS-DOS PC ? I looked in the directory MSDOS.DSKUTL
at SIMTEL20, but couldn't find anything like that.
Please answer to me directly, since I'm not a member of this group.
Thanks in advance,
