DESPERATELY SEEKING DISK ACCESS!

On the Apple II accessing the disk directly from assembly language was
rather trivial. With the IWM handling the same task on the Macintosh I
thought it would be simple writing a small routine to get a raw nibble
dump of a track, but nooo. I just can't get it to work, even though I have
tried everything (well almost). Inside Mac isn't of great help either...

PLEASE, someone, help me out on this one. What am I doing wrong? I would
really appreciate a small working routine.
