Whew! I thought I was the only one with a problem like that!  What I am
looking for is some way of reading 40 tracks of 18 sectors/track, 256 bytes/
sector.  I am almost positive I have seen a program that read these disks
before, but I can't remember what it was...

If anyone out there either has or knows the program, or has some Turbo-C
code, or knows where to get any of the above, I'd be so happy to get that
info!  I'm getting desperate! :-)

Thanks in advance!
