Initializing (Formatting) disk problem

[ibmpc5150]

Of course I set the BIOS setup and proper disk image (1.44MB) correctly.

FORMAT A: (This is no problem.)
But the problem is to use FORMAT A: /U.
I guest this is problem of emulation for FDC.

- ibmpc5150: Try PCem-X. I fixed formatting there (in fact, I vastly improved on the FDC code).

FDC format command currently isn't supported. I do have better FDC code that I wrote for Arculator, which supports formatting, copy protected discs and other things, but to date I haven't prioritized porting it over.

Workaround for now is just to not use FORMAT A: /U - under emulation it basically serves no purpose anyway.

- TomWalker: You could look at the PCem-X code. The FDC format command is supported and implemented (and works). And I'm working on getting XDF floppies to be loaded correctly.

Ok, thanks for inform me.
