As I did earlier (isn't net.latency annoying? :-( ) The other thing I
always suggest is to format the media with dosformat(C) instead of
format(C) since older versions of format don't have the -v option, which
makes them just a little worthless to call directly.
Did someone say Preformatted Media ? You mean you TRUST them for BACKUPS
of you ONLY set of distribution media ? Ha!
