Just as an aside, do not use the Master 512's DISK.CMD program to format 
720kb (or 360kb) disks. It has a bug in it which writes the system area 
wrongly (see 
http://www.cowsarenotpurple.co.uk/bbccomputer/master512/problems.html#format). 
Make sure the formatting is done on a PC, or use a different program.
