Yeah, but look at the original question. From what I understand, it
was to do with formatting floppies to 1.7MB capacity (the so-called
Micro$oft DMF format). Can the MSDOS simulator handle this?

Hi Alex and Clem:
It help to install the following:
Go to /usr/ports/emulators/mtools/
and install the MSDOS simulation package.
With this package you can format copy a disk in DOS format.
If you have a freebsd on CD do the followings:
1 - /stand/sysinstall
2 - Select the menue for the post configuration (I can not remeber
the exact title, because I am not in
front of my P.C)
3 - Go to Pacakges
4 - Go to emulators directory
I can not remeber, but you will see a pacakge with somthing like
"Tools for manipulating MSDOS files"
description , select this pacake and then install this.
To know more about this when you installed this pacakge do :
man mcopy
man mdir
man mdelete ( I am not sure about this, please check)
Regards
Abbas
