AFE: Incompatibility with A/UX 2.0

*For technical accuracy

AFE (under A/UX 2.0) fails to initialize DSDD disks as MS-DOS 720K, with the
error "Initialization Failed!" The same disks formatted fine on an MS-DOS
machine, another Macintosh running AFE, and the same A/UX Macintosh booted
under Macintosh OS. The results were the same on several different disks
regardless of whether DOS Mounter was running or not.

AFE isn't completely compatible with A/UX 2.0, although formatting 720K DOS
disk was the only problem I found with it. It would mount and translate both
720K and 1.44MB DOS disks with no problems.
