Hmmm... sd0s1? That must be one of those new-fangled things I've been
hearing about. I'm talking 2.0R here (yeah, dark ages, I know!).
Just for the record, sd0e works just fine. I even finally figured
out why tar disliked /dos/d:/file.tar so much. <sigh> Now the
combo of ZIP, AIC6360, and MSDOS-formatted disks is chugging along
beautifully on 2.0R.
