Hi, guys!  It's me and my stupid PC-to-Atari trash again!

Well, if you want to read more than this drivel, post something!

Chris Chiesa sent me a program via Email that looked like it indeed
initialized a disk, then transferred PC files to Atari format.  Only
problem was it was Mydos format, which I don't know from a hole in the
ground.  So, I put some ascii files on the disk and will attempt to
reverse-engineer Mydos format over the weekend.  Also, it seems to
only understand only non-XF551 drives.  (A Percom one and the ATR8000
or something like that?)  I wrote using the default (I don't even know
which one it picked) and will attempt to read on the XF551.  When I
took a directory, it looked like it gave back the starting sector and
the number of sectors.  I will start with that.

Wish me luck (or send me information on the Mydos format!)  (Or both.)
