Erm, nope! Which commands are they? (I think it has format and verify in there
and others that are probably fairly easy to guess the operation of...)
Z-break or something like that (anyone remember? I don't use it much...) will
put you into an '8271' compat. mode. However, this is just for games and things
that like to have a go at protecting stuff (some won't work at all under 1770),
you should be able to cat and use disks in the usual mannner quite normally
under 1770...What are you having to do?

As there was room in the 16k 1770 DFS ROM, Acorn decided to put sideways ram
utilities (load/save/etc/etc) in it. Its really an addition to the OS, as per
the Master.
