Hi Does anyone know wether there is a program available to format ms dos compatable disk formats on an Atari ST. If there is one available in the P.D. this would be a big help to me. thanks Nick Coyne NCOYNE@ESOC.BITNET

Just format using GEM Desktop, and change the first 3 bytes of sector 0 to EB 34 90 (hex) with a sector editor. Works like a charm. Just don't put any '+' signs in your TOS filenames... _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."

The only solution seems to be to patch the directory using a disk editor.
