[comp.binaries.ibm.pc] Formatting Floppies -- HELP!!

kurfurst@utgpu.UUCP (09/07/87)

I would greatly appreciate either
	
	1. Source code to the equivalent of format.com
           which does not use BIOS calls.
	2. Technical specs so that I may write (1).
	3. Failing request (1) a copy of format.com
	   as mine seems to be broken.

The motivation behind (1) is to be able to format floppies from a 
Unix based system running on an IBM-XT (the system is Minix).

Please e-mail me if you can be of some help. If there is sufficient
interest I will post to the net. Thanks in advance .....
