I didn't try the read but the 'write' did work right. It was real slow, but
I suppose that is normal for a warp type file. The second disk of the newtek-3
file had a boot block filled with 'DOS' and I get the impression (from seeing
this before in the past) that this is normal for a non-bootable DOS disk.
The lovely 'task held' requestor followed by a guru, is probably normal if thereis a problem with the disk :-) (That could be a brilliant quote).
