MAXI Form (v1.54) by Herne Data Systems Ltd. REGISTRATION ($10.00)
Are you tired of running out of space on your floppy disks? How would
you like to fit 420k on a 360k disk, 800k on a 720k disk, 1.4 meg on a
1.2 meg disk, or an incredible 1.6 meg on a 1.44 meg disk?
Sound impossible? Well not any more!! If you are using DOS version
3.2x or later, then MAXI Form is just the thing for you. Using MAXI
Form for all your floppy disk data storage needs is like getting an
extra one and a half disks FREE with every box of floppies that you
buy!!
MAXI Form is intended to format blank disks only. It will destroy all
existing data on a floppy disk.
MAXI Form v1.54 has the following features:
- Supports formatting 420k disks in 1.2 meg drives.
- Improved error detection and handling routines.
- On screen display of type of disk being formatted. (This lets you
know how MAXI interpreted your command line switches).
- Automatically re-tries formatting a track up to 3 times before
reporting an error (with verify option on).
- Improved version of SMAX compatible with more hardware BIOS's.
- Automatically determines if you have correct DOS version (3.20 or
later).
Please note that MAXI Form relies on quirks in the MS-DOS/PC-DOS
operating system and BIOS ROM's. Although it has been tested on a
wide variety of systems with DOS versions 3.2x and later, it cannot be
guaranteed to work with all systems, especially ones which have been
heavily customized and modified (including the installation of non-
standard disk drives and controller cards) by the user; nor can it be
guaranteed to work with future releases of MS/PC-DOS. (Some DOS
releases may require the use of the special device driver program
SMAX.COM (outlined later in the documentation) for reliable
performance with some hardware systems.)
