Re: [N8VEM: 3021] Re: Formating drive B on power up

Jeff,

The software I am working on does not reformat the drive.  Neither does 
James's versions.  I hope to have a better version of my code up on the 
wiki this weekend.  My software has an A and B drive.  A is the RAM 
drive and B is the EPROM.  I can support EPROMS up to the 27C020 at this 
time.  Next version will add the 27C040 and 27C080.
