The disks we got were not formatted on all 80 tracks, therefore the
standard ms-dos diskcopy would not work. Also, the boot block on the boot
disks makes it uncopyable with diskcopy. However, if you have a 2 drive
system and you boot Minix you can copy entire disks with
cp /dev/fd0 /dev/fd1
I got error messages when Minix read the last formatted track on the source
disks, but the copies are still usable. 
Uh, yeah, you still have to format the destination disk with MS-DOS.
