You CAN low-level format mixed density disks with

reformat it even if the system normally requires already low-level formatted
disks).
I realized after sending that message that the track exclusion feature
would let me do it.
The best way to high-level "format" a disk
with ImageDisk however, is to
make an image of disk freshly formatted on the actual system, then simply
W)rite it to new disks as needed.
Probably the easiest approach, I agree.
