ic3-462-6 is a VS3100.
The floppy drive doesn't work when using dosread.

I am sure that it is not a problem with the floppy.  Yes, it is a HD
floppy disk formatted for 1.44 MB on a PC running MS-DOS 5.0.  When
ic3-462-6 told me "sd2:HARD ERROR" in the console window, and "could not
read FAT" in the xterm where I was running dosread, I took the same floppy
to another VS3100 and read it with no difficulty.  I, and other people in
this building, have had these problems in the past with ic3-462-6.
