[comp.sys.mac.misc] Superfloppy initialization problem

ewing-martin@CS.YALE.EDU (Martin Ewing) (02/22/91)

I think this has been discussed before, but I'm having troubles initializing
FDHD floppies that have been written on by MS-DOS.  The Mac gives me the
choice of 800/400 K initialization, even though the second hole is clearly
visible to me!  How do I force a 1440 K initialization?

This happens to be under A/UX, and even the 'diskformat' A/UX command, with
its explicit density parameter, is not enough to make it right.

I'd appreciate any knowledgable replies via e-mail to me.

Thanks,
