The MacTools that come with Copy II Mac include the ability to explicitly
format a disk.  In addition to this there is a function very much like a 
subset of Fedit version 2 from John Mitchel, a slow but accurate copy routine
which doesn't give up at the first error ( potentially useful for data
recovery ) and, of course, the nibble and sector copy protect defeating
program.  

I believe one of the abilities of the mac disk test which passed here a 
short while ago was to format a disk.
