	Hi,

	I've been trying to write some code to do a low level format
	of a hard disk on an XT but, I haven't been able to tell if
	has worked correctly or not.  (I'm running a developmental
	operating system and the disk got trashed and I want to make
	sure I start with a clean setup.)  Does someone out there 
	have some code that does the job?  How do I tell if the disk
	has been formatted correctly.  (Other than the return value in
	AX for int 13?)

	Any help would be appreicated.

	Thanks,

	Pat McCormick
