In general I have heard a lot of good about 22DISK (I am a registered owner),
but I personally have had a *LOT* of trouble using it with the Xerox 820 series
of computers (specifically the 820-II).  My current 386 (which has a
Compaticard IV for the floppy controller) works better with 22DISK than my old
286 did, but still does not work to my satisfaction.

I have heard of plenty of other people who have had no problem using 22DISK
with Xerox 820-II floppy disks though.  I have had no trouble with other floppy
formats that I have needed to use.  The thing I like best about 22DSIK is that
you can add disk formats to it, just by telling it the parameters.

On the other hand, I have never had a problem with UNIFORM and Xerox 820-II
floppies (on the same two computers).  I have a real old copy though, and
suspect I will shortly be getting their latest version.
