I remember hearing that START magazine had published information on how
to make disks formatted on the ST (?) so that they can be read on IBM
compatibles as well as the ST.  This was supposed to be done by altering
three bytes somewhere on the disk.  Do any of the readers know of this
information?  I tried looking back through what issues I have of START but
couldn't find the info and am afraid that it is in an issue I have not 
bought.

What sectors/bytes have to be changed?
