[net.micro.pc] Low Level Format for PC-AT Hard Dis

>>>I managed to get a friend who works for an IBM dealer to let me borrow one
>>>of these Diagnostics Disks (v. 2.07) and it didn't seem to be the right one.
>>>CMI says the highest version is 1.05 of the correct one.  Does anyone know
>>>why there seems to be two series of Advanced Diagnostics Disks?

There are two series of advanced diagnostics disks.  One for the PC & XT,
and one for the AT.  The PC&XT version was at about 2.07 last I looked,
but in the last couple of weeks I just got an update to the AT advanced diags.
which is now version 2.02 with support for the new 30Mb disk and voice
module.  So you probably need advanced diagonstics for the AT version 1.05
or higher.  You get it with the AT Hardware Maint. Manual.
