In Article 1807 of comp.os.minix, broman@cod.UUCP (Vincent P. Broman) says: > Does anyone know how to format floppies to a size of 400K? > ..... > Vincent Broman, code 632, Naval Ocean Systems Center, > San Diego, CA 92152, USA > Phone: +1 619 225 2365 Internet: broman@nosc.mil > Uucp: sdcsvax!nosc!broman Hey Presto! I have posted a utility called JFORMAT, which formats floppies in practically any format you like: doublesided/singlesided, 8/9/10 sectors, 512/1024 bytes/sector, supports high density/quad density drives, etc. etc. I have posted this in comp.sys.ibm.pc, as it is a binary file and only indirectly relevant to MINIX. But it certainly meets Vincent's specifications and more! If anyone can't find it in comp.sys.ibm.pc, let me know and I'll mail it. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! David O. Tinker ! ^ ^ !
