Question about the way our new kernel will handle floppy disks.I recently got my hands on a lot of unopened micro floppy disks,with a 1 MB storage capacity.When I ran FORMAT on one in FreeDOS,it threw an error.It cou;dn't be formatted with FAT,due to a "Bad track" and some other things.I am aware that MICRODISKS are older than FLOPPYDISKS (Althought the difference visually is almost none).Is there a way to use microdisks on FreeDOS/Windows?They are listed with a RAW filesystem on both Windows and FreeDOS.Does our kernel support these types of disks?
