Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It manages to format 800K disks on my PS/2-30, but those disks don't work properly. When I tried to copy things onto them I got a "sector not found" error. Not very encouraging, I don't think I will trust my data to this program. At this point I would highly recommend AGAINST using this program. +----------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Joel Spolsky | bitnet: spolsky@yalecs.bitnet uucp: ...!yale!spolsky | | | internet: spolsky@cs.yale.edu voicenet: 203-436-1483 | +----------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ This is my opinion.
