There is a file on GEnie in the 8-bit Atari Library (file #4595) called
PC_MYDOS.ARC.  The description says "Use Atari SSDD diskettes on an
MSDOS".  I have no other information, although I assume it is designed to
work with MyDos.  I don't know if this is what you are looking for.
Hopefully, someone with additional information will add their comments.
