Toolshed's os9 program says for os9 format: (yes, it got cliped a little. Deal)

yntax: format {[<opts>]} <disk> {[<...>]} {[<opts>]
sage:  Create a disk image of a given size.
ptions:
    -bsX = bytes per sector (default = 256)
    -cX  = cluster size
    -e   = format entire disk (make full sized imag
    -k   = make OS-9/68K LSN0
    -nX  = disk name
    -q   = quiet; do not report format summary
Floppy Options:
    -4   = 48 tpi (default)
    -9   = 96 tpi
    -sa  = sector allocation size (SAS)
    -sd  = single density
    -dd  = double density (default)
    -ss  = single sided (default)
    -ds  = double sided
    -tX  = tracks (default = 35)
    -stX = sectors per track (default = 18)
    -dr  = format a Dragon disk
Hard Drive Options:
    -lX  = number of logical sectors

iirc I used" os9 format -e -l100000 transfer.dsk" to make an 90-odd meg virtual disk.
