Do I need SETPATCH with my Amy 1000? Could Commodore supply a patch
program to patch the disk so I need to run this every time?

I followed the instructions in the recently posted article on how to
run FFS from floppies. The devices mounted ok, autodiskchange started
ok, and things seemed to be working, except I can't format a disk. When
I enter "format drive ff1: name empty noicons ffs" it tries, the disk
clicks, and it says format failed "bad sector number".

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Sean
