For instance, if you use a demagnetizer on the disk, MS will choke. You have to find a format program from some independent source, and use it to format floppies that MS doesn't like. (Run it from a DOS window.) Old DOS (3.1) would format anything. Why not format the disks from Linux? The archives have it, recently. Please copy this to the list. I can only write to it from my Linux OS as user, and that is not working at present, unfortunately. --doug
