The new Rodime driver now lets you run format under system 6.0.  The
problem was that the driver code did not implement the necessary control
codes to return info on the device.  The new 2.0 version does support
system 6.0.   The old driver runs fine under system 6.0 EXCEPT if you try
to do a high level format via Erase Disk-- it used to ask whether or not
you wanted to format your Rodime as single or double sided (!)

My opinions are my own, not my employers.  etc. etc. etc.
