I have done this with a winblows program and still have some disks like this, up to 1.72mb which was very handy at times. I don't know how to achieve this
Use a special device for that format you want. I'd suggest first trying
# fdformat /dev/fd0h1660
see what happens. Back in the old days and I think that's still true, you'd use the special form of /dev/fd0 (for instance /dev/fd0h1440) when
formatting only.
As I recall, uppercase "H" was for 5.25" and lowercase 'h' for 3.5".
I don't know offhand what the 'u' is. Maybe 'unformatted' but that doesn't make sense.
