   I don't think my first message made it through so I'll try again.

   I was wondering if there was any reason why I couldn't format a Prodos disk
at 1:1 interleave.
   I've heard all the things about GSOS not being able to handle 1:1 all of the
time but with a Transwarp GS and diversi cache, I think I could.  Why?  well,
I was using MacTrans GS to transfer some files (background:  I heard that
HFS disks are formatted at 1:1 interleave) and MacTrans read them so fast I
was really amazed.  It read a 120K file in about 5 seconds (much faster than
GS/OS could).  I decided that it must be the 1:1 interleave.  

   anyway, is there a program to format 1:1?  Is it possible (I mean like
can Prodos structure handle 1:1?  I'm pretty sure it can).

thanks for any help....
