- ProDOS 8
- #5: ProDOS Block Device Formatting
-
- Revised by: Matt Deatherage November 1988
- Revised by: Pete McDonald October 1985
-
- This Technical Note formerly described the ProDOS FORMATTER routine.
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- The ProDOS 8 Update Manual now contains the information about the ProDOS
- FORMATTER routine which this Note formerly described. This routine is
- available from Apple Software Licensing at Apple Computer, Inc., 20525 Mariani
- Avenue, M/S 38-I, Cupertino, CA, 95014 or (408) 974-4667.
-
- Note: This routine does not work properly with network volumes on
- either entry point. You cannot format a network volume with
- ProDOS 8, nor can you make low-level device calls to it (as
- FORMATTER does in ENTRY2 to determine the characteristics of a
- volume). As a general rule, it is better to use GET_FILE_INFO to
- determine the size of the volume since ProDOS MLI calls work with
- network volumes.
