Re: Format command in QDOS

I think NOT !

I think it directly formats the right hand floppy drive.

Formatting of system disks
First you´ll need a formatted disk which may hold the later system. Please follow this procedure:

        Start your CMI with the QDOS disk in the left hand floppy drive

        Insert an empty disk into the right hand floppy drive

        Enter following command: FORMAT (enter)

        The CMI will format the floppy in the right hand drive
