You made a copy of the dvi system disk on 3.5" ? You somehow got a dvi and dvi-dos to use more than 180K per disk side? Or is the dvi just creating bizarrely formatted 3.5" disks that only use the first 40 tracks, or double-spaced evey other track, or something ? It's really using HD disks? (1.44M instead of DD 720K)
I guess a 3.5" DD disk (ie: 720K, not HD 1.44M), a single side of that would be 360K on 80 tracks, and 40 tracks of that would be 180K, which would be the same as the original single-sided DD 40-track 5.25" drive & disk. And I think 3.5" always runs at 300 rpm whether HD or DD, same as 5.25" DD (5.25" HD 1.2M runs at 360rpm), so I guess dvi dos and the controller chip & firmware in the dvi could do it that way.
