Which version of the old DFS were you using?

As someone else has said, it has *FORMAT and *VERIFY in ROM (for DFS).
If you had an old 8271 DFS with *ENABLE, then this is no longer used,
as *BACKUP, *DESTROY etc now ask for a yes/no reponse before doing
their stuff.

>What is "SRAM 1.05"?

Already answered.

>Does anyone have an ADFS manual?

Is there such a thing? The master reference manuals provide some info
about the OS level interface (*commands, osbytes, etc). You probably
still need a utils disc to do format and verify under ADFS (although I
think the newest chipos may have these built in).

Hop this helps, Tom.
