Dos-2-Dos version 2.0 (1987) does not work on an A3000.  It hangs when it
tries to access the disk (both internal and external 3.5 and external 5.25).

Extras:PCUtil/PCFormat does not work on an A3000 with 5.25 disk, even when
booted up with AmigaDOS-1.3.  It turns DF2's motor on and hangs with:
"Verifying Track 26", "Tracks Remaining -2".

CrossDOS 4.00a (July 10, 1990) works correctly on an A3000.  The package
now comes with the "2.0 compatible" sticker.

I had to purchase CrossDOS when all the other programs failed me, it works
great.
