   Hi Kev,   
   One test would be to use Linux DD (which copies entire file systems)   
   to read (maybe) a 1541 disk in a Linux machine. If the result is a valid   
   *.D64 file then that would be proof that an IBM can directly read a   
   1541 disk. (Whish I didn't recycle so many old PC's). I may be able to   
   set a test up with my leftover PC stuff.
