Oh, a couple things I left out. I tried this with *5* different
floppies, 2 of which were cloned with the dd(1) command, and the other 3
with the dos rawrite.exe program. Same result no matter which one I
tried. I find it very difficult that 5 brand new Sony disks are bad.
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but it doesn't seem too likely.
I also downloaded the 1.1.5 floppy images and tried those, and got the
same errors (well almost the same, the format looked like it changed a
tad, but basically the same crap). So, is this something like a BIOS
incompatibility? I have Phoenix BIOS, v1.03.
