No, the HDOS 2.0 images are ones I made, from a real, pristine, distribution 
set.  Interesting you'd seen that before though.  I still haven't found my 
spare disks but maybe someone else might want to look into it with a real 
system.

I use the H8 "dump" (aka suprdump, diskdump, etc) program to display sector 
contents to the console, which is actually another computer capturing the 
output.  I then run the dump through a stream edit script which converts it 
into program data, and excuting the program produces the binary.  I figured 
I'd find disks with better tools on them soon and/or someone would post 
some.

Speaking of tools, I'm really looking forward to seeing Eric's "fstool".  
Might you post it soon, Eric?
