Hi,

I used to do this with diskzap That came with the zip library.

I read sector per sector on the 35 track and wrote sector per sector on a 40 track drive.

Takes a bit longer but it worked.

Cool.

Any possibility of changing the default RS-DOS 35 track to 40 track? Or is
that simply not do-able?
