RJ> Quickly, folks: what switches do I use to reliably format a RJ> 180k on my RJ> AT so I can transfer to a Rainbow? I'm desperate! If you have a hi-density drive on you AT, as is usual, your best coures is to get a utility program called "RX50" that will let you emulate the Rainbow drive on the AT. This lets you put 400KB on a diskette; the only limitation is that you won't be able to format the DEC diskettes on your AT. Otherwise, you can use a command like FORMAT B:/1; but this will only work on a regular 360KB drive. That will give you the 180KB capacity you mentioned; however, it is less reliable than the RX50 route. -- Frank Mallory at The Black Cat's Shack (Fidonet 1:109/401) Internet: Frank.Mallory@f123.n109.z1.fidonet.org UUCP: ...!uunet!blkcat!123!Frank.Mallory
