I'm not sure...I don't use superformat. > Is there a Windows program that formats 1680? Yes, winimage will do it, and I think there may be a few other utilities. You could also just "cheat" and just run one of the self-extracting 1680K disk images, then delete all the files :-) Also, since you're using bering (which is based on Dachstein), you might check and see if you have the "backupdisk" command available. I wrote this script to allow folks to easily backup their 1680K boot disks using the firewall itself (rather than requiring folks use a full linux disto or something like winimage). The script formats the floppy using: fdformat <device> where device is the desired high-capacity floppy device (such as fd0u1680). You might try the fdformat command on your bering system, and see if you get any better results. Otherwise, maybe you've got a batch of bad floppies?
