   OK, I'll move to option 4):   
      
   When a .dsk image is mounted and is detect to be ProDOS-ordered, the   
   internal image will be swapped to be DOS-ordered, but not written back to   
   the host yet.  When ANY write to the image occurs and would update the   
   host copy, the entire image will be written to the host in DOS-order.   
      
   If you never write to the disk image in any way, the host copy is untouched.   
   If you write to it in any way, the host copy becomes DOS-ordered.
