Re: [N8VEM: 14356] Re: Problem with my PPIDE
Hi Norbert, formatting with PPIDETST is fine as long as you know the LBA range of the CP/M directory. Wayne uses a different algorithm to map track/sector addresses to LBAs tha I do so my documentation will differ. I wrote clrdir.com to use the bios definitions to determine where the directory is, so you didn't need to worry about that. Clrdir will completely empty the directory whereas era *.* won't. I would recommend that you use use clrdir to "format" the disk before you use it.
Regards,
Max
