	Fellow Apollo users;
Can you help me? We have some DN3500's with NEC 11__ floppy drives that we'd
like to install Mtools 2.0(an MS-DOS disk manipulation utility) on. 
Unfortunately, for the software to do its job, the physical format of the 
drive must be one of the MS-DOS types(e.g. 80tracks, 2heads, 15sectors).
Since our drives are 160 track, we need a driver that can make the drives
emulate the 80 track models(BY double stepping tracks, or whatever else).

	Anybody know where I can find such a driver for freeor cheaply? Or how
abouta hacked version of mtools?


Thanks in advance!
