   The FDC in a PC cannot write the special data marks the Model I insists on   
   seeing. I actually created a fix for that 25 years ago - a special boot   
   sector for DOS or data disks which, when the disk is booted in a real Model   
   I, rewrites the directory data marks as needed and then copies the 'real'   
   boot sector from an unused sector where I wrote it and writes it where   
   needed.   
      
   Unfortunately I long ago lost the code for this, however it is the only way   
   to write useable Model I disks on anything except a Model I.
