> Has anyone had problems with programs that use "HyperFormat"?

     The HyperFormat segment from ShrinkIt 2.1 works fine with my system.  I 
just formatted a 5.25 inch disk, and copied ProDOS 1.8, and BASIC.SYSTEM 
(1.3) to it, and booted it (from ProSel).  Mebbe there is a problem with the 
drive?
     More likely, if you are trying to read/write from a System Software 5.0 
GS/OS, you forgot to copy the AppleDisk5.25 driver into your $/System/Drivers 
subdirectory.  Natcherly, ProDOS-8 doesn't need the driver anyway.
     With System Software 4.0, I found that some programs seemed to need the 
UniDisk3.5 driver there also... for the 5.25 driver to operate... but the 4.0 
version of the AppleDisk5.25 was buggy, anyway.  These problems are supposed 
te been corrected in version 5.0.
     Actually, I have deleted the 5.25 driver from my boot drive... because I 
tire of the clatter and noise with the polling of drives (and because I 
seldom use 5.25 inch disks, anyway).  B^)
