Makes me wonder. When I read "A brief history about SMS" from TT, there was
a para about formatting disks. At least, he has written his own utility, so
it *should* be possible..... Perhaps, Marcel can tell more...;-)

Hi all,
At least, I had a successful HD Format.
I used "Format a: /FS:FAT" under XP DOSbox, then "FORMAT "flp1_name*D""
under QPC2 as suggested. This gave the usual format "sound" under QPC2
(as known from SQB...). A native format under QPC2 is not possible, there
is the same problem, as Rich wrote. Wonder why...?
Thanks to all.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the problems I encountered some
years ago when I was writing a popup tool for formatting disks...
On a standard QL, I could happily format DD, HD and ED disks without
problems.
I could also use
FORMAT "flp1_name*H"
and
FORMAT "flp1_name*E"
But, if I then tried:
FORMAT "flp1_name*D"
It always gave FORMAT FAILED !!
