I am writing a program to format hard drives using extended formats.
My developers kit says the XBIOS function 10 (flopfmt) works for floppies.
Does it work for hard drives too?  I assume all I have to do is change
the device to 2 for drive C, 3 for D, etc, right?

Please respond by email to sfn20715@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu if you know the answer.
