hi there,

on the matter of formatting disks in background I want to say that it sounds
like a mistery to me why it can't be done. I thought it is done by the IWM
anyway. So very little software (and thus control from the cpu) would be
necessary to do it. But on the other side I'm quite aware that guys at apple
any time since the apple I liked the idea of doing anything under control
of the cpu. I wonder if I got anything wrong on that matter...

Oliver.
