- I just got an Insite 21MB floptical today, and installed it in my A3000.
- My 21 meg disks are on backorder, so I tried formatting a 1.44 meg HD disk
- by using a mountlist entry. I know this is possible, as this subject was
- discussed here before. How do you get this to work? The drive will mount,
- although I get a "No Disk Present" or "Not a DOS Disk" requester. When
- I try to format the disk, the format command hangs on "formatting cylinder 0,
- 79 to go" Is this a hardware or software problem? Help? Anybody??!!
