- On or about 04-Mar-96 22:23:54 Wowbagger typed the following words about
- "DiskSpare 3.0 for HD. got it working?". My reply is thus...
-
- Hi Wowbagger,
-
-
- W> Hi does any one use diskspare 3.0 on highdenisty disks. As I have tried
- W> to get a 80 Track HD disk to format usind diskspare, I have altered the
-
- DiskSpare.device uses 82 tracks.
-
- W> flags, changed the HiCyl= value the sectors for 12 to 24 and every time i
- W> change something I test it and each time it will not format the disk. I
- W> have tried Branded and unbranded disks, and still no luck, but the disks
- W> format using Intl-FFS no probs.
-
- Here is the mountlist I use. It has worked for me with no problems at all.

- It is called PS0: on my system. Remember you have to format PS0: (or what ever
