The people who tested it, and I, beat the living daylights out of
it before it was posted. It hasn't done any damage to anything.
What exactly do you mean by "safe"?

>Does it still use the old twister format ? (then it's not too safe)

Again, what do you mean by safe?

Turtle doesn't rely on any characteristics of the "TWISTER" format.
Version 3.00 supports 9, 10, or 11 sectors per track. It will format
9 or 10 sectors, but not 11 (11 sectors is a very marginal format).
