Um, Sellam, are you sure you've not got 3.2/3.3 compatibility round the
wrong way? The P5A and P6A PROMs that came on Disk ][ cards sold with DOS
3.3 (16-sector) can also handle the encoding used for DOS 3.2 (13-sector),
but P5 and P6 PROMs supplied with Disk ][ cards can't handle the encoding
used by DOS 3.3. There are a very few exceptions related to copy protected
disks, of course, which is why some of us had switchable cards.
