Does anyone have a routine for formatting MS-DOS floppies on
the UNIX-PC at 360K? I'm running 3.5, and it still formats
at 320K from the user agent. Source code would be nice, if
you have it! Even hints would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I created this format 9 sector disks (below) and it seems to work. Whether or not the driver REALLY formats disk 10 sector I don't know. This came from the 10 sector versions of the same stuff.
