With the exception of the Xerox 16/8 DEM, all Xerox floppy formats have track 0
formatted as single density.  While I fight with 22DISK to get it to work with
the Xerox formats, I HAVE gotten it to work.  Of course, it does not work for
Xerox 820 disks, since they are single density, and the controller in the PC
can't handle that (without modifications).

I may be way out in left field here, but if I remember right, the first couple
of tracks are reserved for the boot sectors, and there should be nothing for
22DISK to read there anyway.
