If you read what it says before it starts the formatting process, you
wouldn't ask... go on, READ the text you have to confirm with Yes before it
does anything... that's no bug, it's a necessity because of the small memory
size in the Emax. The only way around this problem is to keep a aset of
preformatted disks at hand, I guess (or use EMX on the PC, but I've found it
to be less reliable than disks formatted directly on the Emax).

Bye,

  Hermann
