In a recently posted article, we are advised by Apple that:

>Emulating a PC is a little tougher, though, because one wants PC disks
>to run on the system.  Well, the PC uses the index holes on diskettes
>(it's hard sectored).  Apple diskettes are completely soft-sectored,
>so Apple doesn't bother to install the extra hardware necessary for
>hard-sectoring.  This makes reading PC disks a bit tough.
