I need some help with PcPatch_II, if someone would be so kind.

I unzoo'ed everything into ram: and copied PCCopy from my Extras disk to
ram: as well.  I put a 720k disk into df0: and click on the PcPatch icon.
Up comes PcPatch's window and I click on df0: to use as MS-DOS.  Ok, PCCopy
starts and reads the disk for a split second, but no files show up.  If I
click the FROM/TO box, the amiga files show up.  "Hmm," says I, "maybe
something is wrong with that disk."  Grab another MS-DOS disk and slip it
it, click "change disk" (or whatever).  Again, a split second read, and no
files.  So I try an experiment.  Let's go the other way.  Click FROM/TO,
select an amiga file, and punch COPY.  It responds by saying there is no
room on the root directory.  But there _is_  (I know there's only a few
files on one disk.)

For completeness, the systems:
Amiga: 500, 1M, df0: (I didn't read anything saying I needed two physical
drives and assumed ram: would work)
MS-DOS: disks were formatted and written by a PS/2 with dos 3.3 (I think).
These are _not_ in 1.44M format (would I trust my class project to a DD disk
that's trying to hold 1.44M? Nah)

So, if some enlightned soul would care to open my eyes, I would really
appreciate it!  Thanks in advance.
