Apparently all DOS 3.5" floppies are FAT format
with the capacity
is 1,457,664 bytes, regardless the version, after accounting for the
two hidden files, so...
Is there a way I can patch or debug the floppy after generic
format to make it look bootable?
I thought there was a Format /b switch to set a floppy as bootable (which
is different then Format /s which sets as bootable AND copies system
files). Of course, I seem to recall that as an option with DOS, so I
don't know if it is an option with something higher. A quick look in
Win2k doesn't list /b as an option (or /s, and neither seem to work when
tried).
