The i/o error stays there even with the first disk put back in the =
drive.Have to reboot or power down to clear it.

I had similar experiences, though I didn't attribute it to OpenDOS at =
the time.  Once a disk failed to read properly (and it happened =
frequently), it was impossible to read any disk in the drive until I had =
powered off the machine -- cold reboots wouldn't even clear it.  I don't =
recall whether the disks had labels and/or serial numbers; I suspect =
