Another good utility for formatting disks with twister is Mystic.  It's a
desk accessory that formats in the background.  I've seen other background
formatters and they're not as good.  It will also do 82/10 format if you
want.  The down-side is that it won't format with a MS-DOS boot sector.  If
you have two drives, you can load up two copies of Mystic (MYSTICA.ACC and
MYSTICB.ACC for example) and format two disks at the same time.
