- MDFORMAT is the Musical Disk Formatter by Clark A. Hay is a simple utility
- and 68000 assembly code tutorial. It plays some music (the theme song
- from the movie Midnight Express) while it formats your disk. It was
- written in 68000 assembly language using Assempro from Abacus Software.
- While this may prove to be an amusing utility program, its main purpose is
- tutorial - which is why the author has included the complete (heavily
- commented) source code for it. Formatting uses 10 sectors per track, and
- the user may select between drives A or B, single or double sided disk,
- 80 or 82 tracks. It does NOT produce a sector skewed track as with
- "Twister.Prg", so don't expect any disk read/write speed ups. Color
- only. Docs included.
- 35K.
