I can direct sector copy from one drive to other (easy enuff to write a
program to do it in pseudo-basic/mc), but even after doing that, when trying
to write to the disk, even when it reads the data correctly off the disk,
trying to write, it splats in the wrong place (I think...will have to check
this by format, sector-copy, write some files, change drive, write some
different files, see what first drive gives/makes of it).
