WHAT'S NEW IN CON>FORMAT 1.06
It's been really great to get all kinds of suggestions for ways
to improve the usability of Con>Format.
We added a few new features to Con>Format 1.06:
1. Up to 8 diskette drives are supported on up to 8
different adapters. Instead of remainng fixed at
37x, I/O port base addresses can now be specified
for each drive in the configuration table.
2. The seek speed is now adjustable for each drive.
Normally, you can leave this set at 6 msec (the
usual default). However, if your drive is noisy
at this rate, you can use a lower seek time.
3. When a diskette is accessed while Con>Format is
formatting, a running display of the format progress
is presented.
4. If, in the case of a "stalled" diskette access,
the ESCape key is pressed, a "Drive Not Ready" status
will be returned to the system for the "stalled"
access. Note that it usually takes 4 or 5 successive
ESC key depressions to actually display the DOS
message "Drive not ready" because DOS retries every
failing disk operation several times before reporting
errors.
5. The one-line short "Con>Format installed..." message
is now written to standard output, so it may be re-
directed to a file, if desired.
6. Some of the timings have been lengthened a bit, so those
of you with 33MHz 80386 systems should have no problems.
