- Oops, you're right. Sorry, I did not read the original message carefully
- enough... Anyway, I have once writte some code on an Atari ST computer (same
- disk format as MS-DOS) that reads OS-9 disks. The aim was to have a set of
- functions like: os9open, os9read, os9write etc. This project, however,
- remained in an experimental state. If someone is interested in this I will
- mail the sources, maybe it gets finished one day. The only OS depended part
- is to read one sector from disk.
