What I said is that the sector to sector copy currently seems broken.
The :drive+offset syntax somewhat works, but not in combination with
the @ raw device syntax.

Maybe somebody who worked on this might chime in?

There is in libdecbseek.c some places where the offset is doubled if
an hdbdos_offset is given. I tried removing this and it worked better.
It seems like hdbdos uses both 256 and 512 bytes sectors, and this
code hasn't consistently settled on one of them. Maybe you can explain
more about this?
