In unix mode the Unixpc/7300/3b1 disks have either 8 or 10 tracks (user 
selectable) and are NOT DOS readable.  The Unixpc also allowed 
reading/writing in DOS format on DOS formatted disks, permitting data Xfer 
between DOS and Unix.

Google comp.sys.3b1 for articles on using disk images (dd?) to move 
other stuff between the two.  It's been done, but I forget how.

Enjoy.

Bill
