I'm trying to load Simultask on a 6300+.  I didn't have the required scratch
360K diskette at the time I loaded the seven System V Release 2.0 Version 2.5
foundation diskettes, so I am trying to load the simultask software
from within Unix.  I went through the menu system to the "Install MS-DOS
software from diskette" entry whereupon I was told to insert my newly
purchased 360K diskette.  After doing so, I get an error message "trouble
writing to diskette" and I am told to insert a new scratch diskette.  I've
tried three different diskettes (of the same vendor) and get the same error
message for each.  If I boot up DOS 3.1 and format the diskettes under DOS,
I can copy to and from the diskettes with no problem.  Is Unix somehow more
sensitive than DOS?   I called the ATT Hotline, but they haven't been much
help.  Has anyone seen this problem before?  

	Thanks for any assistance,
