Hi Bob, the format string is generated with "os9 id" from Toolshed.
The documentation says it "is intended for RBF disk images only" and
"displays information about an image from the identification sector
(LSN 0)". From the code it seems that the disk image format byte only
has one bit for 48/96 PI, one bit for DD/SD, and one bit for DS/SS.

The index.html is created by 3rdparty/utils/aaw/mkdskindex based on
the "os9 id" output, so maybe it has to look at the "Total sector
size" as well and adjust the format string? What would be the most
helpful format string? TPI or capacity in KB?
