I had no problem using 800KFMAT in an AT&T 6386 WGS and did not need the
TSR to access the disks.  However, now I would like to be able to access
them running VP/ix under unix.  Has anyone gotten that to work?  If not,
how about something similar using a 720K format which should look just
like the 3.5" disks?
