ImageDisk is NOT a CP/M emulator like 22disk - it
knows (or cares)
nothing about high level disk formats (file systems). Although it has
a F)ormat command, it's is a LOW-LEVEL format only and does not create
a recognisable file system. It is mainly for testing and the creation
of custom disks.
Beg pardon, Dave. 22Disk doesn't emulate anything. It converts (and
can format), but doesn't emulate. That's 22Nice's job. For that matter, if all one wanted to do was to create
an arbitrary
blank disk with different formatting on each track, Anadiisk's often-
overlooked format feature can do some pretty bizarre stuff.
