"I've discovered a wierd circumstance.  I have some floppettes which,
when I format them using Gulam's "format a:" command, get errors.  But
when I format them with the desktop's format menu, they work!  Does this
make any sense to anyone?
I have one of the old single-sided external floppette drives, if that
matters. ..."


I have same problem but with the newer internal drive.  I'm using a
1987 version of GULAM.
