You see I would download that for my ST.. but the thing is neither Mac or Windoze XP can format 720k DOS disks anymore meaning its practically impossible for me to put the thing on some floppies  :-(
Religion is for people who believe in hell.
Spirituality is for people who have been there.

Are you sure?  I don't have any 1.0MB 3.5" floppies ATM (well, ones that I wouldn't mind formatting).  I'm pretty sure you can still format one to 720k under XP though.  You might have to use the command line "format" command and specify /F:720 for it to work.

[Edit]Just scrounged up an old DS/DD 3.5" disk and had no problems formatting it using the command line (even w/o the /F switch).  The GUI tool however does restrict you to 1.44MB disks[/Edit]


That will be where I was going wrong then, thank you  :-D
