Go back and read what I wrote, Bill. If single-sided media is being used, DOS formatting will fail as there is no single-sided high-density format available. Of course, if double-sided media is used, DOS formatting as a 1.2MB DOS disk should work--up to track 76. Note that 8" drives are 77 track/cylinder, not 80, as the 5.25" drives are. IMD can handle the issues quite readily, as its formatting facility will do whatever you tell it to do. --Chuck
