Hello!  I have installed TOS 3.06 and the new Atari controller
for the 1.44 meg floppy in my TT.  I have also flipped the 
switch to enable the high density format button.  The drive reads
properly, and even writes acceptably, but for some reason it 
won't format in high density well.  It worked a few times but
doesn't anymore.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
	I think this discussion came up before but I don't remember
what the verdict was.  Is the problem in the drive or the 
controller or TOS?  Thanks!
