error 18 is "Sector not found".  The disc is probably defective; try
another one.  (What track number does this occur at?)

Colin, I'm in Wallasey.  If you get stuck with this I would be willing
to pop over to Liverpool with a copy of a formatter disc (or, better
still, a copy of the Disc Doctor ROM, which has a formatter and several
useful utilities built in) and give you a hand to get up and running.
