- Hello!
-
- I'm trying to code a C format program. I think I've managed the low level
- format using the trackdisk device and now I want to perform the DOS level
- format to put a file system on the floppy disk (880K). How can I do this? Can
- anybody point me at some source to do this? The code has to work on an A500 (ie
- KS 1.3) etc.
-
- I believe the "Format ("DF0", "LABEL", ID_DOS_DISK)" call is not available from
- KS 1.3 etc.
-
- Thanks for any help. E-mail would be preferably due to constant problems with
- Demons news server.
-
- Thanks.
