To answer this part first, that's normal for a boot disk.  The boot
track (18 sectors = 18 clusters on a normal floppy) are marked allocated
but there's no filename for them.  On a DSDD disk that's clusters
$4C8-$4D9.

I never use EDIT but it probably left a temp file in /d0/MIKE that should
be deleted... (Willard RTFMs) Yeah, when you edit an existing file it
wants to create a file called SCRATCH.  That's probably your error 218. 
del /d0/mike/scratch and you should be good to go.
