If you have access to some kind of micro system with 8-inch drives,
you should be able to format them there.  It is usually a lot faster
to copy disks there too if you have 2 drives.

Be sure that your floppies are the right kind - soft sectored, not hard.
Compare the locations of the index mark hole on your console floppy and
your blank floppies. If they are different, you have the wrong floppies.
