magnet would make it useless, have no sector flags or anything. Since the
sector flags are installed at the factory (I think) and a format,
unconditional or other, uses these flags, doesn't erase them, I think the
problem is that the amiga rearranges these.
I think the easiest is just not to bother trying to use these disks in a PC.
