How do I format a 1680k floppy?  I tried:

%fdformat -s 21,,,,80 /dev/fd0

That just produces a line of errors. That is EEEE... instead of VVVV.... I'm able to format the same floppy in Windows using WinImage.


Are you sure you don't mean 1720k? Look at "/etc/disktab" for stressing a floppy.


I'm sure. I get the same results trying to create a 1720k.

%fdformat -f 1680 /dev/fd0
fdformat: unknown format 1680 KB for drive type 1.44M
%fdformat -f 1720 /dev/fd0
fdformat: unknown format 1720 KB for drive type 1.44M
%fdformat -s 21,,,,80 /dev/fd0
Format 1680K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y

%fdformat -s 21,,,,82 /dev/fd0
Format 1722K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y
