Hi!

Since I sold my 1581 I forgot to format disk in my FD-4000 as 1581 disk...
I know how to format DD, HD, ED disks (emulator formats D1M, D2M, D4M) but today I was unable to format with FD-4000 diskette to 1581 format...

Can anybody help me with this stupidity? Really I feel very stupid for asking this Q...

And boys, maybe also girls: Everything succesfull and nice in new year wishes Miro!

Commodore 64 was great, Commodore 128 is bigger, better, faster and more powerful... Commodore 65 was almost here, but C256 is coming and it will be earthquake...

If you only have the disk that came with the drive, use "FD-Tools."

It' easy command like formatting DD, HD and ED... only needs to use 81: OPEN 1,8,15: PRINT#1,"N0:DISKNAME,XX,81": CLOSE 1 and that's all. Miro
