Sorry, I forgot to confirm what the other members already said: it's 
not possible to format/create an EII floppy disk if you don't have an 
EII. The EII is the only piece of hardware which is capable of 
creating its own disks.
(but I know of someone who's trying to hack this on his PC :-)

Here's a workaround though: someone who owns both an EII and a DPX-I 
(like me) can load an EII disk in the DPX and save it on 3.5 disk on 
the DPX. 
This 3.5 disk can be copied to a disk image file on a WinXP PC using 
OmniFlop.
Once you receive/download this file, you can do the other way around: 
you can save the DPX image file back on a 3.5 disk on your WinXP PC 
with OmniFlop.
This disk then can be loaded on your DPX-1.
And voila, you'll have a real EII performance bank on your DPX.

Simple, isn't it :-)

Maybe I will put one or two of such DPX/EII diskimages in the files 
section of this group, including short instructions how to use 
OmniFlop for those read/save operations.
