Well, I've been working on this one for some time now.  Trouble is,
I'm not getting anywhere.  So, I decided to swollow my pride and beg
for help.  :-)

I'm trying to write a routine in C to format floppy disks.  I have a
version that formats 5 1/4" disks, but I can't get the 3 1/2" disks to
work.  

Nearly all of the references I've found on this subject (both books
and magazines) have been woefully incomplete; some are just plain
*wrong*.

Any hints, reference, or discussion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in adavance...

Dennis
