I just finished implementing a UNIX-compatible cpio for DOS on a PC, and
I hoped to use it to transfer files via floppy disks between my AT
(running System V UNIX) and AT&T 3B2's (also running System V UNIX). But
I've since learned that the 3B2's do not format floppies in the same way
that the PC does. Does anyone know how floppies are formatted on the 3B2?
Is there software available that will enable a PC to format a floppy so
that a 3B2 can use it, or vis versa?
