I do a lot of transfering around between systems.  I've found that
when the disk is formatted on the PC with MS-DOG 3.2, the ST can
read-write the floppies fine if both systems only use the root
directory.  For some reason if a mkdir is done on the PC, the ST
sometimes can't find the directory or the files in it.  And
occasionally, TOS will make the disk unusable be both systems
when I try to copy a new file to the disk.
