	Microport can read/write 3b2 floppies and vice/versa.
	You need to create a new entry in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk
	It is something like minor 86 or 87.  I gave up on Microport
	months ago, so cannot give the exact number, but one of those
	are correct.  Microport tech support should also have
	the info.  Cpio -oc files are then easily transferable.
