I tried that yesterday.  It doesn't work, the drive apparently tries to
open a file "#" for reading on drive unit 1.

However, I found out a work-around for the problem.  The following
solution worked:

	OPEN15,8,15,"UI":PRINT#1,"I":OPEN2,8,2,"#"
	PRINT#15,"U1:2 1 1 0":PRINT DS$
	CLOSE2:CLOSE15

The "UI" command simulates a drive reset.  Without the "I" command, the
drive refuses to read sectors in unit 1.  Reading from unit 0 works in any
case.  Also the B-R command has the same symptoms.
