I'm wondering how to do hard drive formatting, which is likely to be needed when
working with emulated disks in David Gesswein's MFM emulator.
As far as I can tell, RT-11 can do this. At least I have a source code printout for such
a formatter. But while I can find a hard drive image of RT V5 for Pro, I haven't
found any floppy-bootable images. And I think it's a bit tricky to create one. I
knew, long ago for V2...
Any suggestions? Any alternative sources for a formatter? I guess I really should
consider typing in the core of that formatter and adding it to RSTS.
