Well, DOS 6.x had the /f switch on the FORMAT
command--which told DOS
to forget about trying to read the disk, just format it. I believe
that DOS 7.x ignores /f. And for DOS, there are always third-party
formatters.
I think you're referring to the /u switch, not /f. /f was used as a
shortcut to the size (ie. /F:720 was the same as /T:80 /N:9)
