	The trackdisk driver will support raw reads and raw writes 
(no MFM decoding/encoding layer) on tracks.  I have never tried to read a MAC 
disk, however, and the MAC's variable speed may cause mucho problems.

	On the same topic, does anybody know the RLL encoding scheme is
viable on floppies?  I have yet to get my hands on RLL documentation, but
I've heard it can be implemented on drives which support MFM encoding.
