	Must correct the previous article - the DOS 3.3 skew is two-
descending, and this is the fastest possible sector arrangement, *if*
you patch DOS 3.3 so that the software is fast enough to read every other
sector. Without the patch, DOS 3.3 misses its first chance at each sector
and doesn't catch it 'til a full spin later. That's why it's so slooow.
