My friend (Mark Bellon) reports that on an earlier version of the
diagnostic disk you could (1) specify swap size, and (2) do a
hardware reformat of the disk, ie. rewrite disk block labels, etc.

Unfortunately, he threw out (reused) this disk when he received an update,
and was disappointed to learn that the update had less functionality.

Does anyone out there still have the diagnostic floppy that lets you
specify swap size, and reformat the disk?

(Really pushing it, does anyone out there have "sawp-into-file" implemented
for the UNIX PC, as on Masscomp?)
