To force a format of a diskette, I go to my 512K mac (and 400K drive), and
press the little button inside the drive down, and quickly insert my
diskette.

If I want this diskette to be an 800K (MFS/HFS) formatted disk, I'll then
hit the reset button half-way through the format/initialization.  Then,
when I put this half-initialized disk into an 800K drive, the mac asks
if I want it initialized (being a "non-mac disk").

Kinda a lot to go through to re-initialize a disk, but...
