If you have a secondary drive attached which you want to format you have to
make that win1_. I didnt discover any other way. This worked for me:
Say you have the current setup:
WIN_DRIVE 1,0,0,0
WIN_DRIVE 2, 0,0,2
WIN_DRIVE 3,1,0,0
Now you want to partition your secondary drive:
DEL_DEFB
WIN_DRIVE 3, 0,0,0: rem Park your master drive out of the way
WIN_DRIVE 1,1,0,0: rem Set the drive you want to partition

Well, it does parse it, but it gets it wrong. IIRC, on the Atari you may
have more than four partitions (in addition to Atari ones)

Actually, they started life on the Atari. On QPC they only work on QPC2 3.x
