Gee, my pclone, which supposedly runs at 8mhz (norton says 1.6 relative
speed, haven't done the math yet) runs diskcopy and format perfectly
fine....in fact, all my utilities (and all my software for that matter)
work fine.  Good thing, too, because I'd have to move a jumper on my
motherboard if I wanted to take it down to 4.77.  Has anybody had
a problem with diskcopy and format not working at 8mhz?
