Yes, this one uses 256 bytes/sector but wouldn't reformatting it take
care of that?
I would think so if it does its format in the same way that the CP/M
machines that I am familiar with do, Joe. That is, they do both low level
and regular format simultaneously. Some smarter (later) drives resis that
kind of thing, but I do not think that an ST-251 qualifies!
