Sorry if this is a FAQ.

Is there any way for a NextStation to read a floppy written on a
SparcStation 1?  I have tried writing a floppy in both tar and Sun
filesystem format, to no avail.  Alternatively, is there any way to
keep the NextStation from ejecting a floppy it thinks it can't read,
so that I can read it as raw disk blocks?
