Teledisk not working

This matter has come up before, in the context of Kaypro and other formats that
are not precisely reproducible with a PC (NEC 765-based) controller. Apparently
it's possible to format a diskette in a PC that can be read and written in a
Kaypro but formatting the same format in a Kaypro produces results unreadable in
a PC. I'm not sure of the details, not being a Kaypro owner.
