I looked at the BIOS parameter block in the diskette image and it confirms that it is indeed 18 sectors per track.

I found a copy of the version of teledisk that Dave recommended and I found that it has "issues" with some hardware including one that an earlier version of teledisk worked on without issue. The only one that I had any success with is an old Panasonic Toughbook CF-45. The result you got may be an issue with the diskette controller on the system, I got a similar result on my Toshiba T6600C and on my generic Pentium based machine, where previous version work, I get DMA overrun errors.

Thank you, Paul,
looks like as if I will have to find and test several old pcs and disk controllers, as well as I will have to test different versions of teledisk. Oh dear! :-)
