Fairlight-CMI

Hi everyone,

I've noticed formatting floppies on a Series III it takes quite 
quite some time. Around 10+ mins per disc. Is this right, or is 
there possibly something wrong with my drive?

I'm doing this in OS9, but without actually 'fully' quitting from 
CMI, ie by pressing "$", instead of typing "QUIT". I might try a 
full quit, see what happens...

Does anyone use Nashua 8" discs? That's what I'm using, but don't 
know if they're a decent quality.

Also, on my last format I got "number of good sectors: $0010C9". Is 
this about right?

Cheers,
Peter
