FORMAT
FORMAT
D=drive
The drive containing the disk to be formatted is
given as 'drive'.
If the option is not present,
the query
DRIVE:
will be given, the correct response to which must
be an integer 0 ••. 7.
ID='diskname'
Up to
24
characters not including a carriage return
are used to identify the disk.
If a single quote
I
is to be part of the new name it must be immediately
preceded by a percent (%) sign.
These are written
on the disk and used by ZDOS to determine disk
allocation map validity.
If this option is not
given, the query
DISK ID:
will be given.
Q=Query
Normally, before formatting commences, the query
READY?
is given.
Any response other than 'Y' will result
in aborting the format.
The generation of this query
may be inhibited by giving the 'Q=N' option.
The 'Q=Y'
option is the default and has no effect.
