- 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.)
