"Mummy, what's a line eater?"

On the off chance that some of you may need to, I'll mention a disk
format that seems to have been 'overlooked'. :-)

TRS-80 disks can be read and written on the PC using a 
program called TRSCROSS. Due to the limitations of the IBM
Controller only double desnsity formats can be handled.

My copy will read files from TRSDOS 1.3 disks, and write files
to them. It fails to fromat such disks on the PC (TRSDOS numbers
sectors from 1-18, and the program appears to be numbering them
0-17).

Does anyone know of a program that can read write TRS-80 Color
Computer Disks on the PC? Or Model 100 5.25" disks?
(yeah, so I've got a lot of 8-bit equipment)
