Does anyone know how format a disk to look like an RX50?  Can a PC high
density floppy drive do it?   With DOS?

The things are 80 track, ten sectors, single sided.  MSDOS 3.3 gives up
at 9 sectors.  Mumble.

At NZ$80 a box, after discounting, pre-formatted RX50s are *way* too
expensive for home use!, and I need quite a lot of them.  8-(
