My MacPlus can't format disks when instruction cache of
Marathon 030 upgrade is active.

I returned 20 disks (some cheap ones) to dealer before
I found the *REAL* problem. After buying 10 BASF disks I
found the same problem and I coudn't believe what I saw.

But the solution was simple after one attempt to reformat a previously
formatted disk...

How is it Dove? Are you going to fix this problem soon?
