(y/n): y > Processing E^C-------------------------------------- My mistake. ( I haven't looked at this procedure in a loooong while). I have just successful in creating a 1722 by: # fdcontrol -f 1722 /dev/fd0 # fdformat fd0 Format 1722K floppy `/dev/fd0'? (y/n): y Processing VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV done. Not sure about a 1680: # fdcontrol -v -f 1680 /dev/fd0 fdcontrol: unknown format 1680 KB for drive type 1.44M Hope this helps a bit. -- Cheers, Kevin.
