   Hi,   
      
   The TOS disks are fully readable by a PC from TOS 1.2 or 1.4 (can't   
   remember when they changed!). Only the very first Ataris had those   
   little changes in the boot sector.   
      
   I remember there was a little tool to modify the early disks so they   
   could be read by both PC and ST.
