Well, I just had to responde to this...  Can't is a very strong word, and
should be used with caution.  I must have you over to my house, so that you
CAN see, with your very own eyes, that TRSDOS 1.3, can (when properly asked),
and does currently use every bit of a 80 track double sided drive.  Or if you
prefer, I can post the necessary steps to take to ask your TRSDOS 1.3 to
use all of your disk.  I admit, TRSDOS 1.3 is very primitive, and hard to
work with, but none the less, not impossible.  (I use Unix most of the time,
and TRSDOS 1.3 at home, usually to call a Unix machine. :-))
