Hmm, that would be interesting. I'll have to look for one of those.
I've seen patches for DOS 3.3 to work with 3.5" floppies on a // but
haven't seen anything for it on a /// before now. If you ever get
around to checking out the changes tell us about it. I once hacked
an Apple // OS called Apex which was only out on 13 sector format
at the time to work with the 16 sector format when it came out.
That was fun.
