Re: [Fairlight-CMI] disk format

2008-10-11 by Peter K.

Hi David,
The floppies are the right ones, so that is okay........
It is possible that the Fairlight can't format them, because they were already formatted on another system. The worst that can happen is that the Fairlight hangs. Jus a reset will do.
Please let us know how it works out.............
Cheers,
Peter Kersten.

Subject: [Fairlight-CMI] disk format

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has experience with formatting used floppydisks?
I recently found a bunch of used floppy disks that I was hoping to use
for the IIx.
Should I be carefull trying to format them on the IIx?
The disk are ds/dd softsectored and seem to be in good shape.

tehmftwl,
David
