Well, the weird thing is that my roommates Zenith clone with a 1.44Meg 
drive could read my TOS 1.0 disk when it was extended formatted. (80 tracks 
with 10 sectors per track, I haven't tried it with 82 tracks) I never 
figured out why his computer read it while my other roommate's clone 
couldn't.

Oh well, I guess this is what makes computers so exciting!!!!!!!!!!
