[comp.sys.amiga] Disk Driver help needed

Hi,
I am trying to read disks formatted in the same basic way as the IBM
emulator software disks (3 1/2 inch).  The trackdisk.device doesn't
seem to be able to handle it (or so the manual says, and when I tried,
I got "error: invalid sector header").  Since I assume that the problem
is at the bit stream level, and I do not know the details of either the
IBM emulator or the Amiga at that level, I am looking for any and all
help.  Source for a driver that could read the emulator disks would be
good, so would pointers and tips on where to look for the infomation.
I am familiar in a general way with the process (having handled similar
problems on the apple // series).  Thanks for any help you can
provide.

ps: please respond directly to me since the mailer for info-amiga
stuff may be down (I haven't gotten info-amiga mail for about a month)
