While the disk formats, i.e 8", sssd, 128 byte/sector, can be used by
both cp/m-80 and cp/m-86, they have different directory structures. I
don't know the specifics, but I think '86 keeps the date of the last
file modification with the directory entry. 
	If you can figure out the directory format for '86, you should 
be able to read & write with DUU; but it would probably be exasperating.
It seems to me that a conversion program could be built by around duu --
any takers?

(ps: I'd appreciate pointers to more info on the cp/m-86 directory structure)
