Yep. DOS had only one quirk, though: If you wanted
to format a 720K disk in a
1440K drive, you had to specifically tell DOS to format as 720K. Otherwise, it
assumes you're going for 1.4, attempts it, and fails. You can choose /f:720
with later versions of DOS; use "/t:80 /n:9" for 3.x.
/F:2 would also work for some versions.
With XP, /T:80/N:9 seems to be the only way that still works!
