I tracked down part of the problem with DCFORMAT.
Both DCFORMAT vs 2 and 3 have problems formatting on drive B.
After the whole disk has been formatted, there is an
access to drive A. (Probably to move the head back to track 0
or something). With DCFORMAT 2 the resulting disk has 0 bytes free,
with DCFORMAT 3 I don't remember. But the verify often does not
work.
I hope that somebody from Double Click can comment on this.
