 FDFORMAT 1.8 - Higher Capacity Floppy Disk Formatter   Christoph H. Hochstaetter 23.07.1991

FDFORMAT is a replacement for the DOS-Format program, which has the following advantages:
1) Supporting 3" and 5" floppy drives.
2) Formatting 360k-1.2M disks.
3) Enhance speed of your diskette I/O up to 100% with sector sliding.
3) Improved BOOT-Sector, which automatically boots from harddisk, if the diskette in drive A: is not a system disk.

FDFORMAT - Format Disks with higher Capacity FEATURES OF FDFORMAT -------------------- FDFORMAT is a replacement for the DOS-Format program, which has the following advantages: 1) Supporting 3л"-1.44 MB drives with any BIOS-Versions in ATs and Clones. This saves you a lot of money, you would need for a new BIOS-Version. 2) Formatting and using of 720/820 kByte disks in AT 5м"-1.2 MByte Drives using cheap double-density (DD) disks. 3) Increasing the capacity of your disks up to 300 kByte additional storage. 4) Supporting 3л"-360 kByte format. This is useful, when you want to make copies of 5м"-disks to 3л"-Disks using DISKCOPY 5) Enhance speed of your diskette I/O up to 100% with sector sliding. This is a method of physical ordering sectors in a way, that your drive is ready to read the next logical sector, when your head advances one track. 6) Improved BOOT-Sector, which automatically boots from harddisk, if the diskette in drive A: is not a system disk. This allows you to leave the diskette in drive A:, when you reboot the system.
