  Forgive me if I answer my own question, but how do you format a HD
partition in MFS mode?  Going to the format option under Spectre 2.65,
thr MFS box is greyed-out.  Was this option added later (in say 3.0) or
is something just screwy with my setup?  BTW I'm on a MegaSTe/TOS2.05 if
that matters any.  Any help would be appreciated (transverting to HD
directly would be a LOT nicer, especially with some of those files
(like a Wizardry-type clone) that are 1 meg in HQX/SIT format (just a *bit*
too big to fit on a 800k disk)...
