OK so I tried something else which didn't work either. I used ProDOS to 
format the disk. This did not help. (Previously I was using DOS 3.3)

Also I downloaded ADTpro, and while I can run it under ProDOS, I cannot 
Receive from the SE/30 running MacADT. Though If I'm running DOS 3.3 
and plain-old ADT, I can receive from MacADT.

What gives?
