     Thanks. I've downloaded the latest distribution file (Trial Version 0.972
79 KB) from http://www.oldskool.org/disk2fdi/trial.html and it now includes a
Text file with info on FDI format-- much easier to peruse than PDF stuff.

     About your process for reading non-PC diskettes: Could it work for Apple
II diskettes with one drive if a Read started with a PC diskette in the drive?
As soon as the Disk Controller detects and starts reading the PC diskette,
could you prompt to swap in an Apple II diskette and continue?
