[comp.sys.atari.st] dcformat problems with drive B

I tracked down part of the problem with DCFORMAT.
Both DCFORMAT vs 2 and 3 have problems formatting on drive B.
After the whole disk has been formatted, there is an
access to drive A. (Probably to move the head back to track 0
or something). With DCFORMAT 2 the resulting disk has 0 bytes free,
with DCFORMAT 3 I don't remember. But the verify often does not
work.
I hope that somebody from Double Click can comment on this.

The people from Double Click told me via email that only their
registered supporters will receive an upgrade to fix this problem.
