>Have you got a PRES AP3 or an Acorn Plus 3 ? 

According to the front of the manual, PRES. But according to inside the
manual, the ROMs, and therefore the filing system are originally copyright
Acorn, although they've updated them from version 1.0 to version 1.2,
allegedly fixing some bugs and lowering PAGE. Although PAGE is still at
&1D00, so I don't like to think what it used to be.

Also has a nice utility named T2P3 (tape to plus three), although that
appears to be on a different ROM, and not part of the ADFS. Since you seem
to know about this model, you don't know anywhere I can get documentation on
the tape file format used by this utility? I can't see anything at any of
the documentation sites.

Yep, my mistake, seems to be single sided rather than single density. Either
way I only get about 325kb storage once formatted at 80 tracks. Or maybe one
of the heads is broken in my drive.
