Yes, I do most of my ADFS floppy formatting sessions
on Station 201 on my Econet which has MOS 3.50, it's
a lot faster than any other ADFS formatter.  The DFS
formatter is quicker too.

Best wishes,



Ian

The Alternative Master ROM (MOS 3.50) has *FORMAT and
*VERIFY for ADFS.  *Verify works for hard drives (if you
have the Adaptec ACB4000 bridge board), but *format only
does floppies :-(
