I agree, six weeks is a long time.  However when I ordered I "phoned
first" and found out that for another 6 bucks I would get overnight
Fed Express.  To me it was worth it.

Now, MS-DOS 3.2.  I tried doing dosread/write with this version of
DOS and it failed.  I think the MS block size has changed.  What's
more, when I went back to reformat the disks to MS-DOS 3.1 track 0
was fried!!  I have not started pursuing a solution yet, but I wanted
to see if anyone else had run into this yet.
