I bought a Weltec 1.2meg drive for my XT clone some time ago, along
with a driver, and have mostly good things to say about it. (Like 
that I have been able to put off buying a hard drive, which would 
cost twice as much, until after I get off my grad student stipend 
and get a real paycheck.)

However, I now find that I have run out of the stack of 360k disks
I had formatted before, and DOS FORMAT doesn't work with a foreign
drive in the system. The drive was installed per directions - i.e. 
plug it into the cable but don't change the jumpers, since it isn't 
a DOS disk.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? (besides use
freecopy a: a: followed by erase a:*.*) If there is a public domain
FORMAT that is a bit more robust it would do the trick, as nothing
else seems broken. The obvious answer is welcome as well - a way to
fix the hardware so that DOS FORMAT works. Please e-mail replies,
since I can't keep up with this newsgroup. Will post any answers.
