I am currently working on an Altos 2086 Xenix based machine.  This computer
soposedly reads IBM format disks, and I am trying to transfer some text files
with an IBM diskette.  I used an AT high desity disk with some IBM text files
on it, and issued the command: tar -tvf /dev/fd096ds9.  It said the block
size was 126, and that there was a Directory checksum error....The device
is correct, the disk was OK, but I still got an error...Why?


              Thanks in advance,
                           Robert Lord
