   I've mirrored the same algorithm in AppleCommander.  It works in all   
   cases where a person has a reasonable expectation of there being   
   reasonable data laid down by a reasonable operating system.   
      
   Of note - ADTPro (and ADT before it) always has written 140k Disk II   
   images in DOS order no matter what.  Every other disk type writes images   
   in ProDOS order no matter what.
