[Coco] Formatting HD floppies w/ modified controller.

[Paul T. Barton]

Well, I have been trying to format any
3.5 inch floppies as /D2 and as high-
density (let's say 1.31mb). Using rb1773,
etc. only let me get as far as 1 or two
tracks (watching the LED's) and then quitting
displaying "Unit Busy Error" or some such
thing. I could read older HD floppies
but not format a new one.

I got an older hard-drive, off-loaded
CC3Disk (the patched one for 512 byte
sectors) matching device descriptors,
/D0, /D1 and /D2 (this one is HD). Also,
Clock, the older one (soft).

Made another boot floppy using these
different drivers/descriptors and
VIOLA! I can now format HD floppies.

Hmmm, is there a problem here?
