I have never been able to make the copy of sled that I have, do very much 
but crash the whole  coco3, I think because it blows the stack away at the 
drop of a Ken & Barbie sized hat.  No idea if my copy matches yours though, 
so lemme fire up minicom & go sic vfy after it to get the size, ed & crc.  
Humm, and it is not in /dd/cmds, nor in /dd/maxtor/cmds, so 'find sled /dd' 
is looking for it.  That will take a while on a 1Gb drive, so I'll come 
back later.

I think one does tend to use his own stuff more than OP, a confidence thing 
maybe.
