	Can someone please tell me why TRSDOS (at least on a Mod. III)
insists on setting the DAM (Data Address Mark) to deleted data on all
sector writes except the directory (=track 17 which is written correctly)?
I spent many hours tracking down the (self-modifyong) code that does this
while attempting to transfer data to another computer (which will not
read deleted data...) and I'm really curious.
