Formatting non-standard diskettes?

I suggest you take a look at the Intel data sheets for the 8272 (or even
better, the NEC ones for the UPD765). These tell you quite a lot.

A small point. I believe that there is no difference in the physical
formatting between disks formatted on DOS 2.x upwards with and without
the /8 switch. The difference is only in the BIOS paramter block in the
boot sector, which says to only use eight sectors/track. Of course, real
DOS 1.x disks do only have 8 sectors/track!
