Now at the moment this isn't a huge problem,

formatter disks for the Mirage - you boot up the appropriate disk, stick
a blank in, and it will format it. However, to write to the disk you
need to have a format on it in the first place, so you can't write a
formatter disk without having a formatted disk... Chicken and egg.
But you could format it, if you would have a bit image of a formatted
disk. (preferably take the bit image of a freshly formatted disk, and
hope for no bad block)
