An 'X' means there was an I/O error reading a block (two sectors in
DOS 3.3).  If you get a row of Xs, then it'll definitely take too long
to get back to the server, which will time out.  You can send the ADT
1.32 disk (part of the ADTPro distro) back and forth to test... it's
in DOS 3.3 format.

Any chance your disks have a 40-track DOS or something else extra
special on them?

One final thought - if you have hundreds of 3.3 disks, you'll save
some time using the DOS ADT 1.32 client on the Apple II.  It's
generally faster than ProDOS (and is compatible with the ADTPro server
on your OSX machine).
