Apparently the text should read "requires a disk with *more* than 17
sectors per track" My little machine has 17 sectors per track, 1024
cylinders, and 6 heads (for a grand total of 60MB) but this program
wouldn't work.  However, it did install to my other machine (but that's a
whole different story, and one that pisses me off to no end) so I know the
thing works (well, sort of) it's just a matter of proper documentation.
