Does anyone know how to easily format the XT disk for an interleave
factor other than 6 (the value given in the Technical Ref. Man.) ?
(I know of the BIOS functions to format the disk or a track
which allow an arbitrary interleave factor to be specified,
but want to avoid having to write the assembler code myself.)
I have both the standard diagnostics supplied with the system and
the advanced diagnostics supplied with the Hardware Ref. Man.
I am assuming that these diagnostics format the disk with the
interleaving factor set to 6.  Thanks.
