   Hi Kent,   
      
   It seems to me that your topic is by now rather far away from where we   
   (or at least I) started.   
      
   But let me first try to avoid potential misunderstandings:   
      
   1. Is it great that .DSK images are often DOS3.3 and often ProODS   
   ordered? No.   
      
   Personal note: If I could decide from scratch, I'd have .DSK images   
   simply being always in the pyhsical sector order. My first   
   pre-internet emulator worked that way.   
      
   2. Is it great that the most popular Apple II disk image type has to   
   go without any meta data at all. No.   
      
   Personal note: If I could decide from scratch, I'd have all disk   
   images come with extensible meta data.   
      
   Okay, now to what used to be the topic at hand:   
      
   1. Is the issues with .DSK images noticably reduced by Michael   
   renaming his .DSK file to .PO? No.   
      
   2. Is Michael's .DSK file hard to auto-detect? No.   
      
   Just my two cents,   
   Oliver
