You can use DC FORMATTER to do the same thing.  Just write an executable boot
sector to drive A: that has the set seek rate option enabled.  From the main
menu, just set the seek rate to 6, then go to the executable boot sector
menu.  Next select the set step rate option, and write out the boot sector to
drive A:  Now when you boot of of drive A:, the step rate for drive B: will be
set so you can read and write to the 5 1/4" drive.

Of course, other boot sector programs can also be written at the same time from
the DC FORMATTER executable boot menu.
