- Anyone have source code (or at least information) on formatting non-standard
- disk sizes on the PC? I have code that seems to work on machines slower than
- a 486/33 for 10 sectors per track (800K). I'm wondering if anyone knows how
- to do 20 instead of 18 on a high-density disk. I don't care about setting up
- the FAT or any of that; I just need it to be formatted so the BIOS routines
- can find all 20 sectors.
