The backup command that is supplied with OS9 (both levels!!!) refuses to
backup a disk onto another disk that was formatted differently.  This makes
sense in that you can't backup a 40 track disk onto a 35 track disk.
Unfortunately this won't let you backup a 35 track disk to a 40 track disk.
Is there "something" that will let you do this.  It shouldn't be that hard to
do - just backup the first 35 tracks, then mark the sectors on track 0 to say
that its really a 40 track disk.

If anyone knows of "something" to do this, I'd appreciate hearing....
