- FDFormat 0.21ß
- ========
-
- A small command line for formatting non-standard DOS disks
-
- Usage:
- FDFormat <drive> [-f <format>] [-n <name>] [-t <tracks>] [-s <sectors>]
- [-h <heads>] [-c <cluster size>] [-r <root dir size>] [-y]
-
- <drive> Just the ADFS drive number (as for the normal FORMAT command)
- -f <format> Disk format name (eg. DOS/Q). [DOS/M]
- -n <name> The disk title
- -t <tracks> Number of tracks to format (4 to 82) [80]
- -s <sectors> Number of sectors per track (8, 9, 10, 15, 18, 20, 21) [9]
- This parameter implies the density: < 11 implies low density
- -h <heads> Number of sides to be used (1 or 2)
- -c <cluster size>
- Number of sectors per cluster (1 or 2); 1 is recommended.
- (Equivalent to the Large File Allocation Unit)
- -r <root dir size>
- Number of entries in the root directory. One entry is taken
- by the disk title
- [112 for low density, 240 for high density]
- -y If present, does not ask for confirmation.
-
- Default values are given in square brackets.
-
- The switches are not necessary if you specify all the parameters in the same
- order as above.
-
-
- Examples:
-
- FDFormat :0 -n Large -t 82 -s 21
- double sided, high density, 82 tracks, 21 sectors, 240
- entries in :0.$
- 1722K on disk, 1704.5K free; asks for confirmation
-
- FDFormat :0 DOS/Q Urk
- same as Format :0 DOS/Q Urk
-
- FDFormat :0 -r 112 -s 21 -y
- ds/dd, 80 tracks, 21 sectors, 112 entries in $
- 1680K on disk, 1666K free; formats without asking you first

-
- DOSPart 0.02ß
- =======
-
- A small command line for formatting non-standard DOS disks
-
- Usage:
- DOSPart <partition name> [-s] <size>[K|M] [[-c] <cluster size>][K|M]]
- [[-n] <title>]
-
- <partition name>
- The name of the partition file
- -n <name> The 'disk' title [default as for ADFS formatter]
- -s <size> The size of the partition file, in bytes, kilobytes, or
- megabytes (max = 1024M) [no default]
- -c <cluster size>
- Number of sectors per cluster (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32)
- Equivalent to specifying 512, 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K or 16K
- [default is chosen to suit the partition size]
-
- The switches are not necessary if you specify all the parameters in the same
- order as above.
-
- The number of clusters required is checked. If you choose a cluster size that
- is too small for the partition (ie. there would be over 65536 clusters), you
- will be warned, and the default will be used.
-
- Examples:
-
- DOSPart IDEFS::Main.$.DOS.Drive_C -n Macrosnot -s 256M
- ok - defaults to 4K clusters
- DOSPart ADFS::Wibble.$.Drive_D 80M 1 PentiBurn
- 512byte cluster too small - will use 2K clusters instead
- DOSPart SCSIFS::Device.$.Drive_Huge 1024M
- 16K clusters, default name (eg. "16_40_Sun")
- DOSPart <Wimp$ScrapDir>.FloppyImg 1440K 512 FakeFloppy
- creates an image you can copy to a DOS/Q format disk:
- *Copy <Wimp$ScrapDir>.FloppyImg ADFS::0.$
