No we didn't try that. However, 'dd' uses the same device driver name that TAR
and FORMAT would use. Since we feel that there is probably a bug in the floppy
device driver, ANY disk to floppy transfers using /dev/fd0135ds18 are no good.
If there really IS a bug, then ANYONE doing disk to floppy transfers under SCO
Xenix on a PS/2 will be affected. Help is still requested!
Thanks.
